It was reported that the patient experienced intermittent stimulation, an undesired sensation, when charging the deep brain stimulation (dbs) system.The database analysis performed identified a bluetooth fault code when charging the ipg.Noise from the charging field of the charger interferes with the bluetooth communication chipset, thus causing internal resets where the device stimulation momentarily turns off and then returns to normal operation.The ipg remains implanted in the patient and delivering therapy.
