Event Description

It was reported that around (b)(6) of 2012 they had a fever in the middle of the night and had a seizure.At that time, the patient noticed that the left-side ins (implanted in their chest) was very swollen, so they went to clinic to have the left-side ins checked.At the clinic, the patient learned that their symptoms were due to an infection of the left-side ins implant site.As a result, the patient stated that the left-side ins was replaced.However, after the new ins was implanted, the incision site was not healing up well (the patient figured it was due to weakened tissue from having multiple incisions in the same spot).Thus, the ins was replaced again and implanted in the patient's abdomen, and this time it was replaced with a rechargeable ins.The patient stated that their skin seemed to heal up after the rechargeable ins was implanted in their abdomen.Refer to manufacturer report 2182207-2022-01737 for related device.
