Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
An event of complete heart block was reported.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device remains implanted and was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all specifications.Based on the available information, the cause of the reported complete heart block could not be conclusively determined.The reported prolonged hospitalization, surgical intervention and unexpected medical intervention were due to case-specific circumstances.A temporary pacemaker was placed and the patient was hospitalized for rhythm monitoring.Eventually a permanent pacemaker was implanted.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
