Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient had difficulty activating the device.The therapy manager troubleshot the issue with the patient and confirmed that three electrodes of the right lead were out of range/high impedance.The device was reprogrammed to unilateral stimulation, and the patient continued with therapy while revision surgery could be scheduled.There was no report of patient harm or injury.The patient was scheduled to undergo revision surgery of the right lead on (b)(6) 2024.Upon pre-operative interrogation, the left lead showed out-of-range/high impedance on one electrode, and the three remaining electrodes were functional.Both leads were removed and intact.The left lead was replaced to avoid future surgery.Two new leads were implanted successfully.
