Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2022, a customer reported that about 1 min into a lower abdominal fat reduction treatment with the trusculpt id device delivered 5 days prior (b)(6) 2022) to a high bmi patient, the device stopped delivering rf energy and displayed two error codes.The customer exchanged the console ports to which handsfree-handpieces 1 and 2 were connected to from ports 1 and 2 to ports 2 and 1, respectively, and resumed the treatment.At the end of the 15 min treatment, when all 6 handpieces in use were being removed, the customer noticed the patient had a 5 cm x 1.5 cm linear blister under the right edge of handpiece 1 and two smaller circular blisters centered under handpiece 2.The customer gave the patient topical antibiotic ointment to uses as needed to keep the burns moist during healing.When the patient returned to the clinic for a follow-up visit on (b)(6) 2022, the 5 cm x 1.5 cm blister was partially unroofed in two locations and all blisters appeared to be becoming infected.The customer referred the patient to a dermatologist who prescribed 500 mg keflex bid to treat the infection, and subsequently the patient visited an er where bactrim was added.Since medical intervention was required to treat the infection which developed in partial-thickness burns, the event is reportable.
