Implantation of this maestro rechargeable system occurred on (b)(6) 2015.On (b)(6) 2016, a red light was experienced on the external mobile charger when attempting to charge the rechargeable neuroregulator (rnr).High tip to tip impedance measurements and open tip to ring impedance measurements were noted.On (b)(6) 2016, the impedance limits for this patient were temporarily increased based on therapy amplitude settings within allowable limits, to allow therapy delivery while tissue ingrowth occurred.On (b)(6) 2016, high impedance measurements were again reported.Device log data was received by enteromedics for analysis on (b)(6) 2016.Review of the log data indicates an issue with the rnr preventing delivery of therapy.Replacement of the rnr is required to restore therapy delivery, but has not yet been completed.Additional investigation will be completed if the rnr is replaced and returned to enteromedics.
