Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient (pt) with an implanted neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and g astrointestinal/pelvic floor therapy.It was reported that the pt is trying to turn off their ins for an upcoming replacement surgery (see (b)(4)) and reported they are getting device not responding message.Following repositioning communicator on pt's ins, pt reported getting 'different internal device detected' message.Pt confirmed they still have the same implant.Pt continued getting device not responding and different internal device detected messages when trying to connect with their ins.Pt denied any recent trauma/falls to implant and stated implant still feels the same way it did when it was implanted.Pt stated their external equipment (handset and communicator) was left at a different house, so they had to go get it the other day and stated, over the weekend, they tried to connect with their implant once they got their equipment and that's when they were unable to connect with their implant.Pt stated it was "off for the longest time" however it was not clear as to what the pt was referring to by this.Pt stated they recharged both external devices but, since getting their equipment back, they have been unable to connect with their ins.Pt stated they have a pre-op appointment scheduled for january 19th.Agent did not ask about the circumstances that led to the reported issue.Agent did not collect external equipment serial number as pt was using equipment at call closure.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.Additional information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp).The hcp reported that the cause of the device not responding message was determined and noted the likely cause as "leads not in place." the hcp indicated surgery will be on (b)(6) 2023, "on trospium." the issue was reported as being not yet resolved.
