The product has been received for analysis.This report will be updated upon completion of analysis.Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, a thorough evaluation of the product was performed.Review of device memory confirmed the presence of a higher-than-normal current drain condition.Electrical testing and analysis were then conducted, which isolated the high current to an anomaly in an oxide layer within a custom integrated circuit component.This anomaly caused a high current drain, which over time resulted in the reported clinical observations.
