Correction to the initial mdr: additional information was received that the physician confirmed there was suspected ipg malfunction, but cause was unknown.Sc-1132 (sn: (b)(4)) device evaluation indicated that the complaint of the charging anomaly was confirmed.Upon receipt the device wouldn¿t communicate, and was subsequently charged to 3.94 vdc in two charge cycles.However, the device lost communication during the memory download procedure.The device was cut open and the internal inspection revealed excessive sleep current leakage.A hot spot was observed on the component (28.9°c).The impedance between vh and ground was low.These are the typical symptoms of the asic damage due to exposure to high-voltage transients, causing internal shorts in the component.The patient data indicated fast battery depletion some time prior to the explant procedure.It was reported that patient was unable to recharge his stimulator post-revision surgery.
