Description of Event or Problem · 1
DURING PRODUCT ANALYSIS FOR A VNS GENERATOR EXPLANTED DUE TO REPORTED END OF SERVICE, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PULSING SUPPLY CURRENT WAS OUT OF SPEC AND WAS CAUSED BY A LEAKY Q10 COMPONENT. AFTER Q10 WAS REPLACED WITH KNOWN GOOD BENCH COMPONENT, THE DEVICE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO FUNCTIONAL SPECS. THE LEAKY Q10 COMPONENT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE END OF SERVICE; HOWEVER, PRODUCT ANALYSIS OF THE DEVICE DETERMINED THAT THE END OF SERVICE CONDITION WAS AN EXPECTED EVENT.
