Additional information: since the device is not available to the manufacturer for examination, no device investigation was conducted.If the device is received in the future, the case will be re-opened and the device investigated.Based on information received with the pt report, the pt had no auditory sensation since implantation.As the patient was re-implanted with a different electrode type (i.E.Abi electrode) following diagnosis of bilateral cochlear nerve aplasia on post-operative imaging, obtaining hearing perception, it is assumed that an inadequate electrode selection was made during the initial implantation.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device investigations did not reveal any device defect or problem which is expected to have been present whilst implanted.This finding was expected, because according to the recipient report, the recipient had no auditory sensation since implantation.As the recipient was re-implanted with a different electrode type (i.E.Abi electrode) following diagnosis of bilateral cochlear nerve aplasia on post-operative imaging, obtaining hearing perception, it is assumed that an inadequate electrode selection was made during the initial implantation.During investigation the device operates within specification.This is a final report.
