Event Description

Information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp) via a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for the treatment of gastric stimulation.It was reported that impedance readings were normal at 520 ohms but the patient was still having nausea and vomiting symptoms.An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) was performed on (b)(6) 2020 which discovered that the leads had migrated into the mucosa of the stomach.This was the reason for explant of the leads and ins on (b)(6) 2020.The patient stated they had been rough housing with their kids and they possibly kicked the patient accidentally.The event was resolved.No further patient complications were reported as a result of this event.
