Event Description

Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) who reported the patient had a ¿high¿ impedance reading on c/10 and on c/8 they showed 33,651 ohms.The patient was currently programmed on 11-10-0-8-c+.It was noted that since the battery was changed it was draining quicker, so the contacts were changed to help conserve battery which did help from 2-3 months.However, since then the battery was draining faster again.The hcp turned the patient¿s right side off and was putting them on medication for the time being.A request was made for imaging to see if there was a lead compromised/broken.

Event Description

Additional information received from the healthcare provider (hcp) reported no imagine was done.The cause of the high impedance was due to disconnection of the lead into the neurostimulator.The cause of the battery depletion was due to high impedance.
