Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient was scheduled to receive a dbs lead on their right brain hemisphere, and the procedure went well.When testing the impedances of the lead, contact c2 on the lead showed high impedances (40,000+) out of the box.The healthcare provider hcp retested the lead multiple times with the same results.The testing cable was changed to see if that would fix it and ensure the connection was not the issue, but the high impedance persisted.At this point, the hcp decided that the lead must be the one that was damaged, so it grabbed a second lead and implanted that one.The impedances were all within range.No issues.The case went well, and the patient was doing well.The issue was resolved by the time of this report, and the hcp had no further information.The lead was never implanted.The hospital kept the product and stated they would contact the manufacturer and return the product after they processed the paperwork on their end.
