Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was received with normal telemetry and output.Analysis performed did not identify any functional issues.Longevity assessment found the device was operating above the elective replacement indicator (eri) voltage with appropriate remaining longevity.Final analysis found: visual inspection of the header attachment area detected an anomaly between the pre-casted header and titanium case.Feedthrough leak test was performed, indicating a device hermeticity breach.This is consistent with feedthrough damage as a result of fluid intrusion between the header and case, and subsequent fluid ingress to internal electronics.Hybrid circuitry was tested by connecting to an external power source.Test results indicated normal current drain.A manufacturing process anomaly consistent with header bonding anomaly may have occurred.The device is included in the field action for assurity, endurity inhomogeneous epoxy mixing issued by abbott on (b)(6) 2025 for a subset of devices distributed and implanted outside of the united states.
