Event Description

Information was received from a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was implanted with a neurostimulator for dystonia and movement disorders.It was reported that the patient had a difficulty charging due the implant being too deep in the patient's right breast tissue.It was also noted that the issue occurred after the patient became pregnant two years ago.A revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2016 to move the implantable neurostimulator (ins) higher up in the patient's right chest as she was unable to achieve efficient coupling when recharging.Following the procedure, it was confirmed that all 8 coupling bars were achieved; the issue was resolved.There was no known impact or consequence to the patient.
