Event Description
|
Information was received from a consumer and health care professional regarding a patient implanted with a neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stimulation and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor.It was reported that the patient's unit broke in half 1.5 months after it was implanted and it was clarified that it felt like it stopped working for the patient.It was stated that the patient went in and had to keep having the setting changed to get it to work but it never did.The patient was also given botox injections by the health care professional (hcp), but they were not effective either like the ins therapy had been.It was reported that the patient was also getting ankle stimulation.The caller stated that the hcp told the patient that the device should be removed if it wasn't going to help so the hcp surgically explanted the ins.It was mentioned that during surgery, the hcp found that the device was broken and it was confirmed that the patient had not fallen or anything.The caller also stated that the hcp did not want to make another incision to remove the lead at that time so the lead was left implanted because the hcp told the caller that the patient could be paralyzed if the lead was removed.Additional information was received and it was reported that the lead seemed to have separated from its insertion and tried leads as it pulled out with no effort.There were no further symptoms or complications reported or anticipated.
