Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Analysis of the lead va1d8ka revealed that the butt joint of the outer insulation was separated at the proximal end of the lead.Electrical testing of the lead determined continuity was complete and no electrical shorts were identified between the circuits.The outer insulation is separated at the butt joint and the conductors were stretched.This damage is consistent with the note in the returned paperwork which stated that the stylet was not released from the lead during removal of the introducer and stylet.
