Event Description
|
The consumer reported that the patient's implant "failed." there was a problem with it, and they weren't sure what happened to it.The device was not working well/correctly.The patient experienced weight gain, nausea, and a return of gastroparesis symptoms about nine months prior to the report.It was indicated that the settings were increased, and the issue was not resolved.The consumer stated they thought either the leads had grown through the wall of the stomach or had come detached.It was noted when the replacement was done on (b)(6) 2017, they found out the patient had a hernia in the pocket where the stimulator was placed.The leads had grown into the hernia.Further information received from the consumer via a manufacturer representative (rep) indicated that the (b)(6) 2017 was not a replacement.It was reviewed that the consumer should go back to billing if the patient had a revision vs replacement to see if there was a mistake in coding.There were no further complications reported as a result of this event.
