Event Description

Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for unknown indications for use.It was reported that their old ipg only lasted for a year which was supposed to last for 5 years the device was explanted and replaced on (b)(6) 2022.

Event Description

Additional information was received from the patient.The reason for the call was that the patient received a letter from medtronic with reference number (b)(4).First question on the letter: was this issue caused by normal battery depletion? patient said no, this was abnormal battery depletion.Patient said their implant only lasted a year.Patient said they had an appt with their hcp in (b)(6) 2022, they tested the system and said everything was fine.Patient said they found out their battery had depleted in (b)(6) 2022 because their hcp tested the system and said it wasn't working.Patient said they had no emi, weren't by any magnets, didn't go into any stores that had security gates and they couldn't put their finger on why it would've drained the battery.The second question on the letter was: has this issue been resolved? patient said they guess it has been resolved because they received a new implant since they found out this implant had depleted.Patient inquired about reasons why the battery could deplete quickly and if medtronic is looking into the cause.Agent reviewed longevity expectations and reviewed hcp/medtronic reps can send implanted devices in for testing.
