Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event of sensing r-wave amplitude variation was confirmed.Electrical testing did not find any indication of conductor fractures.Shorting was noted between the inner coil to ring electrode conductor path.X-ray examination found bunching of the inner coil noted at the connector region consistent with damage occurring at the time of the procedure.The reported event was isolated to the damaged inner coil at the connector region.
