Event Description
|
It was reported that patient (pt) experienced shocking sensation when head was in various positions.Impedances in those positions were low.In a previous surgery, the extension to battery connections were checked, then the extension was replaced.The symptoms continued, so it was determined that the lead needed replacement.The lead replacement occurred this week.After the lead was replaced, all impedances were normal.As of right now this issue is resolved.The cause of the low impedances may be due to a fall where the patient hit their head.The issue was resolved.Additional information was received from the manufacturer representative (rep).The cause of the impedance issue was undetermined, but believed to be an impact to the head.
