Event Description
|
Information was received from a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was being implanted with a neurostimulator.It was reported that the sterile packaging of the lead looked compromised.Although it was not opened, it appeared there was slight water damage on the tyvek component of the packaging.The healthcare professional (hcp) made the decision to use the lead and, once it was deployed in the patient, they tested the electrodes looking for patient sensory and motor response.The 3 and 2 electrodes seemed to work and produced the appropriate responses, but the 1 and 0 electrodes did not garner a response from the patient.A decision was made to open a new lead and the problem was resolved.There were no symptoms or further complications reported or anticipated.
