Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event of backup mode was confirmed.As received, backup mode was noted.Visual inspection of the header attachment area detected a bonding anomaly.A device hermeticity breach was observed, consistent with feedthrough damage as a result of fluid intrusion between the header and case, and subsequent fluid ingress to the internal electronics.The device was cut open to enable further testing and the battery was found in normal range.The moisture damage had turned the device into backup mode consistent with the reported event.A manufacturing anomaly may have occurred, which resulted in the header bonding anomaly.As a result of this finding, abbott is performing further investigation.
