The reported event of cobra shaped deformation could not be confirmed.The device was returned to abbott for investigation and the device met functional specifications when analyzed under non-physiological conditions.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all defined manufacturing specifications.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined, but may have been caused by attempting to implant the device with a larger than recommended delivery system.
