    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    UPON RECEIPT AT OUR POST MARKET QUALITY ASSURANCE LABORATORY, A REVIEW OF DEVICE MEMORY REVEALED THAT THE DEVICE DECLARED ELECTIVE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR (ERI) AFTER EXPERIENCING TWO CONSECUTIVE CHARGE TIMES GREATER THAN THE EXTENDED MID-LIFE ERI CHARGE TIME LIMIT. THE OBSERVED RATE OF BATTERY USAGE WAS COMPARED TO THE EXPECTED RATE OF BATTERY USAGE; THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE MONITORING VOLTAGE WAS NORMAL. ALTHOUGH THE BATTERY ITSELF HAD NOT DEPLETED PREMATURELY, ERI WAS TRIGGERED EARLIER THAN EXPECTED BY EXTENDED CHARGE TIMES DUE TO A HIGHER-THAN-TYPICAL BUILDUP OF INTERNAL BATTERY IMPEDANCE.
