Event Description
|
A manufacturing representative (rep) reported on behalf of a healthcare provider (hcp) that a patient had the implantable neurostimulator (ins) system implanted in (b)(6) 2017 and the patient was having severe symptoms again and needed to have a repair, possible lead and battery exchange, possible replacement and removal.They had the patient scheduled for (b)(6) 2018.The hcp wanted the device interrogated prior to the device so they knew what they were encountering.After an abdominal series was performed it was noted that the leads look intact but it seemed that the device keeps flipping upward when they lay down.No further complications were reported/anticipated.

Additional information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp).It was reported that the patient was very thin, which was likely the issue and the device flipping was due to the patient changing positions.The pocket was revised and the adhesions were cleared.It was noted that the device was unaffected so it did not need to be replaced.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
