It was reported that the patient was implanted with reactiv8 system.Approximately three weeks after the patient was activated, she said she experienced a pocket site discomfort at the implantable pulse generator (ipg) site.The discomfort would last several hours, and then the pain would disappear.The patient also reported that the ipg was shifting at the incision site.The clinical specialist recommended seeing her doctor.The doctor then scheduled the patient to undergo surgery to reposition the ipg.The ipg was repositioned with no report of patient harm or injury.Following the ipg repositioning, the reactiv8 system was activated by programming the reactiv8 ipg to allow the patient to initiate bilateral stimulation.The manufacturing record of the ipg was reviewed.No non-conformances were found that would have contributed to the pain/discomfort experienced by the patient.The device remains implanted.
