Event Description
|
Information received from a healthcare provider (hcp) for a clinical study reported that the patient experienced positional loss of stimulation paresthesia with lumbar flexion.No actions were taken and the event was ongoing.The event was due to programming.A week later, the manufacturing representative reported high impedances during impedance test which showed all seemed to be within a normal range except 0 and 1 combination which showed 34,537 ohms.On (b)(6) 2016, one electrode was >40,000 ohms.The patient did not experience symptoms when the device was off.When the patient got in a position today, the patient felt a shocking sensation at peripheral lead site.It was noted the event occurred in (b)(6) 2016.The patient's issue was with group c, which is the main group.Group c was turned on today and as soon as it was on, the patient reported shocking.The amplitude was turned down from 5.0 volts (v) to 0.0v and then up to 3.0v; stimulation was felt but then the patient got in a specific position and felt like they were being shocked again in the same location.Group c was used all the time but 4 months ago the patient could not use it anymore because it was very uncomfortable.Nearly two weeks later, the hcp reported adverse stimulation, episodic shocking sensation with certain movements, so the device was reprogrammed on (b)(6) 2016.Imaging was performed on (b)(6) 2016 showing no abnormalities.Medical history included spinal pain.Stroke occurred in (b)(6) 2016 but there was no clear allegation event was device related.

Event Description
|
Additional information received from the healthcare professional (hcp) of a clinical study reported that interventions included reprogramming.The patient reported episodic shocking sensation with certain movement in the lumbar peripheral neuroelectrodes.The device was interrogated and one electrode was too high out of range with impedances greater than 40,000 ohms.Imaging showed migration of peripheral leads.

Event Description
|
Additional information was received from the manufacturer representative that there would be a revision due to a shocking sensation.Impedance measurements were not taken.The caller required component compatibility information for the lead extension.It was unknown when the shocking occurred.The manufacturer representative did not have further information regarding the situation at the time of the call.
