Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp) via a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient with an implanted neurostimulator (ins).It was reported that after the first week or so post implant all was working well.The patient then started getting pain at the battery site and said it felt hot and swollen.They were seen at the clinic the day prior to contact and an impedance check was ran but the patient found it was too painful to continue.The pain was felt around the implant but unsure of elsewhere.One was ran post implant without an issue.The healthcare professional said the implant did not appear hot or swollen and there were no obvious external signs of infection.No environmental/external factors were noted.The actions being taken were to bring the patient into theatre and open up the implant site and check for infections and change the battery potentially.The issue was not resolved at the time of this report.

Event Description

Additional information received reported that the patient had their battery replaced on (b)(6) 2020.When the new battery was programmed and switched on the patient did not experience any pain but got the stimulation as before.Stimulation on program 3 was more intense and felt internally compared to the others and it was this program she was on when she initially felt the intense pain.It is thought the patient did have a haematoma post surgery but on opening the battery site there was no evidence nor sign of infection.
