Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and gastrointestinal/ pelvic floor.It was reported that they were wanting to know about what they needed to do for an mri.Patient services walked the patient through connecting to their settings and activating and deactivating mri mode.The mri mode said 'mr conditional full body scan eligible" however when talking with the patient, the patient reported that when their current system was implanted, the surgeon was able to replace their ins battery with no issue however "something got screwed up" and the surgeon could not retrieve "something" so they closed the patient up with the "something" from their previous system still inside of them.The patient stated the procedure was supposed to have been 25 minutes but it ended up being an hour because of the surgeons inability to remove a piece.Patient services reviewed with the patient that if they had an abandoned component inside of them still, then their mri mode would need reflect that and it currently didn't.The patient was going to follow up with their hcp about their mri mode programming and patient services sent an email to the field regarding the situation.The patient's relevant medical history included the patient stated they needed an mri of their arm because their "arm exploded" after a flu shot.The patient further explained a tendon or muscle got damaged from the shot and the arm was now "shot," and they needed an mri of the arm to know how to treat it.The patient stated they'd already done a ct scan but the ct scan didn't give any answers so an mri was needed.Patient also confirmed that their previous system replacements had been done because of normal battery depletion.
