It was reported the pt continues to experience a similar 'cycling' sensation with the new ipg (reference mfr report: 1627487-2012-11702).The pt reported the system randomly shuts off (2-3 times a day or every 60 seconds and he has to use the programmer and occasionally moves the ipg in the pocket to re-activate it.Diagnostics were normal.The pt stated when the system is on, he receives effective stimulation.Per the physician, this issue could be related to positional changes.The physician advised the pt to turn the scs system off to determine if explant would be an option.Further follow-up identified the pt underwent a trial on (b)(6) 2014 to address ineffective stimulation (reference mfr.Report: 1627487-2014-25400) which seemed to have resolved the cycling issue as well.The pt will be moving forward with a revision procedure.
