Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event of tip electrode separation was confirmed while the reported event of noise was not confirmed.As received, a partial lead (distal portion) was returned in one piece with all four tines intact.Visual inspection of the lead found that the inner coil/distal tip was pulled out/stretched from the insulation which is consistent with procedural damage.The cause of reported event of tip electrode separation was isolated to procedural damage.Electrical test and x-ray examination were normal.
