Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned and analyzed.The device investigation found that the returned lead was damaged at the interface between the lead body and distal paddle.Although not enough evidence is available to make a conclusive determination; the root cause of the damage is possibly damage from a surgical tool during the implant procedure that was made worse over time from regular fatigue cycles.It is reasonable to assume that the damage observed on the returned lead did not exist on the lead when first implanted, therefore the damage occurred or became more extensive over time.It is possible that the source of the reported neck pain and loss of therapy may have been the result of the paddle lead migrating from the intended implant target.The exact root cause cannot be conclusively determined.The manufacturing records were reviewed and no relevant nonconformities were found.Nevro submits this report in compliance with fda¿s medical device reporting regulations under 21 cfr part 803.Nevro has complied with regulatory investigation requirements and is submitting all information that is reasonably known to us at this time.However, we may not have been able to confirm this information or complete the investigation within the timeframe for filing this report.We may have given no response or an incomplete response to certain questions because we do not currently have information available to provide a complete response.If we later obtain any required information that was not available at the time of this initial report, we will submit a supplemental report.This report is not an admission by anyone that the product described in this report was defective, that it malfunctioned, or that it caused or contributed to the event described in this report.We may conclude that the device had no defect, did not malfunction, or did not cause or contribute to a reportable event.Some of the items on this form include forced-choice terms used by the fda for reporting purposes that do not necessarily reflect nevro¿s conclusions about the causes or nature of the event.This statement should be included with any freedom of information act response.
