Event Description
|
A manufacturing representative (rep) reported on behalf of a healthcare provider (hcp) that the implantable neurostimulator (ins) was being replaced due to a normal battery depletion.The new ins was hooked up to the lead and impedance of >20,000 ohms was seen (captured in a separate event).A second ins was tried and they were still seeing high impedances.The rep stated they did not think this was an ins issue and was more of a lead issue.The plan, moving forward, would be to change out the leads.The hcp would retain the 2nd ins and use that at the lead replacement surgery.The date of the surgery was unknown at the time of the report.No further complications were reported.
