Conclusion: damage to the active electrode, as might be caused by an external mechanical impact, was determined to be the root cause of device failure.The active electrode also showed some additional damage to the electrode wires, as being caused by minute device mobility.An accident or impact might have weakened the fixation of the implant, consequently leading to electrode mobility.This is a final report.
