Pt was in the ide pivotal study for the inspire upper airway stimulation system.Recently he called his physician and stated that he was having trouble with his pt remote, specifically the pt was unable to turn off his therapy so the stimulation continued to engage the tongue protrusion muscles.The pt was experiencing discomfort so rather than waiting for the therapy to time out automatically he went to the clinic where his physician turned off the therapy using his programmer.The pt stated he had mild discomfort after having the therapy off but no other intervention was needed and the pt returned home.
