Event Description
|
A healthcare professional from a clinical study reported that there was an elective replace replacement indicator (eri), the neurostimulator was approaching end of life which was noted on (b)(6) 2016 during device interrogation.The patient was unable to maintain adequate control of dystonia symptoms.During normal use on (b)(6) 2016 there was an electrode that showed signs of a possible short with low impedance of 244 ohms.It was thought that there was premature battery depletion.The implantable neurostimulator (ins) was replaced and following that the impedance had improved slightly, up to 349 ohms.Diagnostics/troubleshooting included impedance checks.The outcome was resolved without sequelae.Telemetry print out from (b)(6) 2016 for the device that was replaced on that day indicated eri, with one electrode out of range on the right c/10-244.Telemetry print out from (b)(6) 2016 for the device implanted on that day indicated that the neurostimulator status was ok, stimulation was off, and no electrode impedance were out of range.This was related to the device or therapy and not related to implant procedure.The patient's indication for use is dystonia and movement disorders.

Additional information was received reporting that on (b)(6) 2013, there was intermittent open circuit on contact #10 right lead.Utilizing the contact lead to ins battery drainage which was subsequently replaced on (b)(6) 2015.On (b)(6) 2016, there was no open circuit on contact 10.However, it was actually abit low at 247 ohms.The patient's system was complicated to program waxing and waning effects.The extension were explanted/replaced on (b)(6) 2018.The issue was resolved without sequelae on (b)(6) 2021.
