This product has not been returned to boston scientific, and as a result, laboratory analysis could not be conducted.The associated investigation determined that there was no conclusive evidence that the observed out-of-range impedance measurements were due to a product performance issue or an inadequate lead-to-device connection.However, intermittent, out-of-range shock lead impedance measurements with no conclusive evidence of a performance issue or an inadequate lead-to-device connection are likely the result of the low-energy test signal utilized for daily automatic or in-clinic commanded shock lead impedance testing.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed.The review of the dhr identified that there were no process related non-conformances, scrap, or rework performed during the production that could explain the event.The reviews ensure each device meets specification prior to release for use.There is no indication the device manufacturing process contributed to the reported complaint.A risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of shock impedance high out of range was defined in the risk documentation.This event type has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.Review of labeling determined that the complaint situation was listed in the manual.There was no indication in the complaint that the product was not used in accordance to labeling.The manual was unlikely to be the cause of the reported complaint; translation, wording, or graphics does not require further review.Based on a thorough review of the reported complaint, boston scientific has assigned an investigation conclusion code of cause traced to device design.
