Event Description

Information was received from a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurosti mulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction.It was reported that during the procedure, they saw >4000 on all electrodes.The rep had the physician re run the impedance test 3 times and still had impedances.They then removed the battery, wiped clean the lead, and re ran impedance and still had the same issue.They repeated this 3 times.When they were repeating the wiping of the lead and reattaching to ipg, the lead would not sit with the set screw the ipg was loose and they were not being set down with the screw.  then they put in a new ipg and didn't receive any impedances finally. the cause was unknown.The issue was resolved.
