Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp) regarding a patient with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for gastric stimulation.It was reported that the patient was seen in the clinical with abdominal pain and an endoscopy showed a protrusion of both electrodes into the lumen of their stomach through the mucosa at the junction of the gastric body and antrum.It was noted that there was a lead/extension/accessory dislodgement and positioning difficulty.Surgery for the removal of the system was scheduled and performed on (b)(6) 2017 and 2 partial leads were removed.The patient did not have any symptoms of gastroparesis, therefore a new system was not implanted during this surgery.The following parameter history was reported: initial setting 11.9, pulse width 330, rate 14, voltage 4v, impedance 331 ohms (noted to be normal while dislodged), and cycling single stim mode.1 second on time and 5.0 second off time.The patient recovered without sequelae.No further complications were reported/anticipated.

Analysis of the ins (b)(4) and leads (b)(4) and (b)(4) found insignificant anomalies; the ins was functionally okay and the leads had been cut through/segmented.The ins passed functional testing and there were no issues when pressing on the ins can.Telemetry was acceptable.The ins output was tested at the cut end of the returned lead.Good stable output was observed on all electrode pairs the ins had when it was received as well as on all pairs.Product id: 4351-35, serial# (b)(4), implanted: (b)(6) 2015, explanted: (b)(6) 2017, product type: lead; product id: 4351-35, serial# (b)(4), implanted: (b)(6) 2015, explanted: (b)(6) 2017, product type: lead.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
