Event Description

Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor therapy.It was reported that they had been experiencing pain and discomfort at the ins site.Patient said sometimes it felt hot and sometimes it seemed like the battery was dying or something because when they turned it on and hit the mytherapy app it would come up but it didn't respond immediately like it used to.If they closed the app out and waited a couple minutes and tried it all over again it would slowly come up just like a delay.Patient specified they were encountering the device not responding message.Patient services reviewed expectations regarding ins battery depletion.Asked patient if they had any traumas that may have cause the issues with the pocket site.Patient stated the only thing they can think of is that they had back surgery (b)(6) 2023 but their symptoms started prior to this so they did not think it was likely to be the cause.They had a fusion of l3,4, and 5 and their physician told them they were far aware from the interstim device.Patient reported they could sometimes feel the ins moving within the pocket like maybe an inch to the left or right but it was not moving around drastically.Symptoms started likely prior to 2023 possibly end of 2022.Redirected patient to discuss symptoms with their managing physician.
