Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare provider via a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was implanted with a neurostimulator (ins).It was reported that after proper lead testing was complete, the surgeon inserted stimloc secure clip into base ring via disk arm, then rotated it so the cam arm could be inserted into the moth and rotate to lock it around the lead body.They confirmed that it was locked and removed stylet.While drawing the lead down the cannula, they noticed that the secure clip was not holding the lead even though it was still in locked position.They had enough excess lead to route into base exit slot and secured with final cap.Diagnostics/troubleshooting included them using the cam arm to ensure secure clip was engaged, but lead still was not being held in place by it.Unknown if the issue is resolved.No symptoms reported.No further complications were reported or anticipated.
