Event or Problem Description
Information was received from a trial patient who was using an external neurostimulator (ens).The patient reported, two days into the trial, that the remote would not connect to the wireless external stimulator.The patient does not speak english, so communication was difficult as it was done through a translator.The rep tried to meet with the patient on monday, to change the device and/or the batteries, but the patient refused.I met the patient today at his follow up, and replaced the batteries, and the device began working.The patient did not want to continue the trial despite the physicians request.The issue was resolved.
