The reported field event of set screw anomaly was not confirmed.Analysis revealed that the svc set screw was tightened down too far in, which prevented the lead from being fully inserted into the lead bore.After the set screw was untightened to the proper position, the lead was able to be fully inserted and the set screw operated normally.There was no issue inserting and securing the test leads.The issue was consistent with having occurred during the procedure.The device was above elective replacement indicator (eri) level when received.Telemetry, impedance, sensing, pacing and high voltage (hv) output functions of the device were tested and found to be normal.
