Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare provider regarding a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stimulation and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor.It was reported that the caller initially called for assistance with turning ins back on after patient (pt) had mri.Caller stated pt could not remember their pass code/password.Caller went to pt's bedside and took out handset and communicator, and was able to successfully access mytherapy app on home screen.When caller connected to pt's handset, they stated they did not have an option to turn on as the amplitude setting showed "2 dash marks." caller tapped the 'up' arrow to increase to 0.1v, which then allowed them to see that therapy was 'on'.Pt stated their handset was not new and they received it at the time of implant.It was uncertain whether the voltage settings were always off or if this was done by mri staff.Caller confirmed there was no option for mri mode on this handset.Pt reported, initially, that they were able to feel tingling sensation to the bike seat area, but no longer could.Pt also indicated that they felt the ins was working effectively for them.Agent suggested pt schedule follow-up visit with managing hcp and/or rep to determine prior settings or set new settings as the pt indicated they had poor memory when they were unable to name their managing hcp.Of note, attempts at obtaining event date were made, but no answer given.
