Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was not returned for analysis.The analysis is therefore based on the inspection of the returned data as well as the quality documents associated with the manufacture of this particular device.The manufacturing process for this device was re-investigated and all production steps were performed accordingly.There was no sign of any inconsistency during the manufacturing process.The final acceptance test proved the device functions to be as specified.The available data have been analyzed.The analysis revealed an unexpected battery behavior, which led to the clinical observation.Based on the data available for analysis the root cause for that behavior was not determinable and can only be clarified by an analysis of the device itself.However, it cannot be excluded that this occurrence resulted from a defective component, which may compromise the ability of the device to deliver therapy.Therefore and in order to exclude any potential harm for the patient we would like to recommend to replace the device and to return it for analysis to biotronik.Of course, individual circumstances and medical judgment determine decisions about patient care and the frequency of follow-up sessions.The above recommendation is based on a purely technical assessment.Should further relevant information or the device itself become available this investigation will be updated.
