Event Description
|
Information was received from the consumer regarding a patient with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stimulation and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor.It was reported that the patient stopped feeling the stimulation 4-5 days ago and then started to have a loss of control/return of symptoms ¿because her bladder wasn't working good at night and it was bad¿.As an action taken prior to report, the patient had previously increased the stimulation to 5.1 volts but still did not feel it.Using the programmer, it was determined that the stimulation was on.During the report the patient increased to 8.5 volts on program 1 but still did not feel the stimulation.The patient was redirected to their healthcare professional (hcp) for the issue.There were no further complications reported or anticipated.
