Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient via a company representative (rep).It was reported that rep assumed the patient was having an implantable neurostimulator (ins) replacement due to normal battery depletion but upon interrogation the device had 26-44 months remaining.The patient then stated she needed her lead replaced because the therapy was no longer working.Patient said when she had to void (urine) she would gush.Patient was unsure when it started.Patient stated may be within the last year.There was no fall or trauma related to the issue.Rep provided an impedance check was done before surgery and the 0<(>&<)> 2 electrodes were <(><<)>50 ohms.The chronic lead was explanted and a new lead was successfully placed.Upon visualization of the ins, there was visible dent in the lower left quadrant of the device.The new lead was attached to the existing ins and impedances were checked.At 1,2 and 3v, the output c <(>&<)>0 could not be checked (the reading was ????).The physician then elected to replace the ins and all impedances were then in range.The issue was resolved at the time of the report.Patient status was noted as alive, no injury.The indications for use for this patient were urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor.There were no further complications that have been reported as a result of this event.

Analysis of the implantable neurostimulator (ins) model 3058 serial (b)(4) showed no significant anomalies and passed final functional testing.Due to the nature of the complaint, an impedance test was performed in 0.9% saline solution and good normal impedances were observed using a clinician programmer.It was determined there was good, stable output on the electrode pairs as received.Analysis also determined the telemetry was acceptable.It was also reported the ins can was dented.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
