Event Description

Information was received from a patient regarding an implantable neurostimulator (ins).The patient reported that their ins turned off after they walked through a security screener at walmart.The patient stated that they could feel themselves "going downhill really fast," so they made an appointment with their healthcare provider (hcp) and the hcp turned the ins back on.After the ins was turned on, the patient stated that the ins took it's time but they eventually got back to normal.The patient's relevant medical history included that the last time they spoke with their neurologist they were told that the stimulation was turned up to its maximum, and if the stimulation was increased the patient would run the risk of getting a stroke.For that reason, the patient has not had their stimulation increased.
