Event Description

Additional information was received: it was reported there was a delay in the surgery of about 30 minutes.When the lead position changed it was said to be due to manual manipulation of the burrhole, and was placed correctly at the end.It was stated there was a learning curve with the burrhole product.It was not designed to handle multiple manipulation and according to the implanting physician the burrhole was free of substance/bone.It required some "skills" to get it in the right place.The physician was fairly new at implanting those burrholes and experience could've been a part of the issue.
