Event or Problem Description
It was reported that right after the second implant, the patient got an infection, and the doctor moved the implantable neurostimulator ins from the belly to the shoulder *see related reported event pe 705831781 infection (2020)*.  the patient said that when implanted in the stomach, there was a long lead, and when the doctor moved the ins to the shoulder, they wrapped the excess leads around the device and had been that way for 3 years now, but it is much more uncomfortable.The patient wondered why the leads couldn't just be coiled separately and placed together on top of each other.The patient service specialist reviewed it was the doctor's discretion on how they have to do it.  when leads were placed around the device, one side caused the wires to arc out on each side of the device which just took up more space and was to the touch, and they could feel the ridges and each time they had done this it was a little sore.The patient said that 'by wrapping a wire around another electrical device you create induction in the coiling'.The patient was scheduled to have the implant removed.
