Event Description

It was reported by the manufacturer representative (rep) via the managing neurologist that the patient was seen for the 1st time for a programming session on (b)(6) 2023.Upon turning on the implantable neurostimulator ins, the patient reported that the ins was feeling warm in the pocket, and multiple impedances were out of range on both sides (showed orange).Per the rep, all impedances were normal at the implant on (b)(6) 2023.Ts discussed possible causes and reviewed to consider x-rays to check how the extensions look in the ins, try programming around the impedances, and try turning the ins off again to see if the warmth goes away.The rep also indicated that ins was "floating" around in the chest, which was known by the rep and hcp based on the patient's body type.The neurologist sent the patient over to the surgeon.Additional information was received from the rep on 2023-oct-05 that the patient had an x-ray taken and that it showed no breaks in the system.Impedances were run at 1ma twice, the 'investigate' status cleared, and all segments showed cleared with green status. the warm sensation the patient was experiencing was unknown, as there were no external signs of infection.
