Event Description

Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary/bowel dysfunction and urge incontinence.It was reported that for the past couple of weeks the patient has not felt that their ins was working.The patient said they get the urge but then urinate all the way to the bathroom and it seems like they're back to day 1.The patient said during the trial when they had the urge, they could make it to the toilet in time.The patient said they had a colonoscopy and other health issues going on so they ignored the symptoms because they weren't sure how to use their equipment to make changes.Reviewed general therapy guidelines and patient wanted assistance making an adjustment.Patient services walked the patient through connecting their external devices to their implant and the patient increased their stimulation to a comfortable level.The patient will monitor their symptoms.
