| Issue: | In some cases during the use of some ATAR™ reusable extension cables, the cables was separating from the connector at the proximal end. The analysis of the returned devices revealed that the connector and wire separation was attributed to a fracture of the conductor cable most likely caused by extensive use of the reusable cables beyond the recommended maximum amount of 3 times. This event resulted in cable malfunction, causing interruption of the pacing system. |
