Additional information: according to the currently available information, damage to the active electrode as might be caused by an external mechanical impact appears likely.However, to determine an exact root cause a device investigation of the explanted device is necessary.Re-implantation is considered but no date has been scheduled yet.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Conclusions: overload fractures in the active electrode which are consistent with an external mechanical impact were determined to be the root cause of device failure.The active electrode also showed some additional damage to the electrode wires, as being caused by minute device mobility.An accident or impact might have weakened the fixation of the implant, consequently leading to electrode mobility.The problems given in the recipient report appear to match the damage found.This is a final report.
