Event Description
|
An implant card was received which reported that the patient underwent a lead and generator replacement due to high impedance and battery depletion.No additional relevant information has been received to date.

Event Description
|
It was reported that high impedance was observed during the last visit however at the previous visit the impedance was noted to be higher, although still within acceptable limits.At the surgery the lead's pin was re-inserted into the existing generator however the high impedance did not resolve.The generator and lead were then replaced.Acceptable impedance was observed with the new generator and new lead.The explanted products have not been received to date.

Event Description

It was reported that x-rays were taken prior to the surgery and the physician could not identify anything wrong with the lead.During the surgery the surgeon intended to complete pin insertion troubleshooting however he found that the set screw would not tighten and the high impedance remained.When the generator was explanted the septum plug (covering the set screw) and set screw feel out of the generator without any interference.A new generator was then connected to the existing lead and the impedance was found to be ok.The explanted generator was then put in a sterilization solution before being packaged to be returned for analysis however during the cleaning process the set screw and septum plug were misplaced.The manufacturing records for the generator were reviewed and confirmed that the generator passed quality control inspection prior to distribution.The generator was received and is currently pending analysis.

Event Description
|
Analysis was completed on the returned generator.Visual assessment found that the generator had scratches on the can and header consistent with manipulation that occurs during the explant procedure.It was noted that the septum and set screw were not received with the generator.Dimensional analysis confirmed that the header septum cavity meet specification requirements.A test resistor was secured in the header on the bench using a pa set screw.Then a series of interrogations and diagnostic tests found that the generator performed normally and the battery indicator was ifi = no.During electrical testing the generator performed to functional specification.Since the detached septum and set screw were not returned these components could not be analyzed.
