Additional information was received from a consumer.It was reported that the patient went to see the implanting physician and the device was off; it was turned back on and reprogrammed, so the device was not damaged.It was noted that the only way it could have been turned off was by the ultrasound that was used during the surgery.It was reported that after the surgery, the patient was very sick.The illness resolved by turning on and reprogramming, the patient was doing well now, and the device really helped with their nausea.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
