Event Description
|
Information was received from a consumer regarding a patient who was implanted with a neurostimulator (ins) for deep brain stimulation therapy indications.It was reported that the patient had possible erosion at the pocket site and was in bad shape.They were falling over and collapsing.Location of symptoms was at the pocket and on one side of the body.It was unclear when the issues started.They further reported the external remote hasn't worked in a long time.The ins appeared to be eroding per caller and the patient saw a physician within the last 10 days and indicated the pocket was fine, no issues.It was unknown if the issues were related to ins.No further complications were reported or anticipated with this event.Additional information received from the healthcare provider (hcp) stated a battery replacement took place.This answer was in response to the hcp being asked when the erosion, patient in bad shape, and falling was first noticed, cause of the issues mentioned, what was done to resolve these, and if the issue was resolved.No further complications were anticipated.
