Event Description

It was reported that the patient was scheduled for a battery replacement.When it was interrogated, high impedance was seen.The battery was replaced, and once a new generator was connected to the lead, the impedance remained high.The electrode pin was cleaned and rinsed five times, yet the impedance remained high.The surgeon noted it would be very complicated to revise the electrode at that moment and insisted that the problem was with the generator.A backup generator was connected to the lead, and the impedance was still high.The initially intended replacement generator was implanted and turned off.No other relevant surgical intervention has occurred to date.No other relevant information has been received to date.
