Combination product: yes.Upon receipt, the lead under complaint was found cut 36 cm proximal to the lead tip.The distal fragment was received for analysis.The proximal fragment was not returned.An extraction aid was found on the distal fragment, it is reasonable to assume that the lead was cut during the surgery.The insulation was found abraded through 21 cm and between 7 and 5.5 cm proximal to the lead tip.Based on the characteristics of the damage, it is reasonable to assume that the lead was subject to severe mechanical stress due to constant friction against another implantable device such as a nearby lead.Furthermore, the lead tip was found damaged including a stretched inner coil, the damage probably occurred during the extraction procedure due to tensile stress.Prior to the analysis of the device, the quality documents accompanying the manufacturing process for this device were re-investigated.All production steps were performed accordingly, and in particular the final acceptance test proved the device functions to be as specified.In conclusion, the analysis did not reveal any sign of a material or manufacturing problem.
