(b)(4).Visual examination of the returned device revealed that the cutting wire was broken and blackened.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of cutting wire broke.It is most likely that a peak of voltage could have caused the failures noted.Therefore, the most probable cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure since it is the most likely that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event.The device history record review was performed and no anomalies were observed.The review confirmed that the device met all manufacturing specifications.Boston scientific manufacturing processes include extensive inspections to ensure that all finished devices meet specifications.
