Event Description
|
It was reported that the implantable neurostimulator (ins) was showing case combos are >5000 and all bipolars are >10000.All are orange at 1ma.Stimulation has been off for past 2 months because of the noted impedances.Caller noted the patient had breast surgery on the ins side 2 months ago and since has had stimulation on but the left side was not providing benefit.There are no known falls.

Event Description
|
Additional information received from the manufacturer¿s representative (rep) reported initial pre-op0erative impedances were orange/oor values of greater than 5,000 ohms monopolar and greater than 10,000 bipolar for the right lead with the left lead being normal.The right and left extension wires were tested using the testing cable with intraoperative impedances greater than 40,000 for the right lead.The hcp swapped ports for the right (top) and left (bottom) leads with no change in impedance values (the left was green, and the right was greater than 40,000).Right impedances were rerun with a new extension but were consistently oor suggesting the lead (not the extension was compromised) as even after a new extension was tunneled and the original battery was reimplanted the oor impedance values were replicated.The cause of the high impedances was due to a broken/compromised lead.The rep noted that initially the proximal end of the lead couldn¿t be located so an x-ray was performed showing the right lead had migrated or was pulled into the neck.The patient was informed a lead replacement procedure would be needed to resolve the issue and resume dbs.
