The reported events were dislodgment, failure to capture, sensing issue, and twiddlers.As received, a complete lead was returned for analysis.X-ray examination of the lead found the inner coil was over torqued at the connector region, and the helix extended and covered with blood / tissue.After cutting, cleaning and applying torque directly to the inner coil, the helix could be retracted and extended.The full helix extension length was measured within specification.The reported events of failure to capture and a sensing issue were note confirmed.Electrical testing did not find any indication of conductor fractures or internal shorts.All damages found are consistent with procedural damage.
