Event Description
|
Information was received from a patient (pt) and a manufacturer representative who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for gastric stimulation and gastrointestinal/ pelvic floor.It was reported that the patient's device "quit working" and they have been "real sick".The pt reported they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they "were upping it".They reported experiencing "real bad burning, shooting and stinging pain" where the stimulator is located.The pt stated this all started "about a year ago" and they had been in and out of the er due to pain and throwing up.The pt reported they had a gastric empty scan that showed that they were only emptying at "like 6%".The pt stated due to this they were sent to a doctor in (b)(6) and had an "endoflip" done on (b)(6) 2022 where it was discovered that the pt had a lead that had come loose from their stimulator and "went into my stomach instead of on the outside of my stomach".The pt's reason for call was to inquire about what to do regarding lead that had come loose from stimulator.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.The patient's relevant medical history included pt stated they have gastroparesis.On (b)(6) 2022, a manufacturing rep rereported that during the endoscopy in (b)(6) it was discovered that a lead had eroded into the stomach.A lead revision was now scheduled for (b)(6) 2022.The issue was not resolved at the time of the report.
