The device was returned and analyzed. the investigation found that the returned lead had damage along the lead body with exposed conductor material from a fractured cable protruding out of the body.The patient device history was limited, no device history information after about may 2021.Because the device statistics data showed that all contact impedances were within specification at the time of implant, we can conclude that the lead was most likely manufactured per specification.Without more device history from the patient¿s ipg it cannot be determined when the cable fractured.There is not enough evidence to determine if the lead had a protruding frayed cable while inside of the patient.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.
