It was reported that the patient underwent revision surgery due to the progression of out-of-range/high impedance failure of the right lead.There was no report of patient harm or injury.Both leads were removed and intact.Two new leads were implanted.Although the left lead was functional, the surgeon replaced it as a precaution to avoid another revision.Following the lead revision, the reactiv8 system was activated by programming the reactiv8 ipg to allow the patient to initiate bilateral stimulation.The lead assemblies were returned and evaluated.The reported issue was verified.The analysis confirmed lead conductor fractures were the cause of the high impedance conditions observed with the right percutaneous stimulation lead.
