Event or Problem Description
|
|
Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins).The patient reported they hadn't used their therapy in probably 2 years due to not needing the therapy.The patient reported they turned therapy on today because they were having some back and sciatic nerve pain recently; however, the patient stated the therapy was not working very well, and they can barely feel any stimulation at all.The patient called their previous manufacturer representative (rep), who stated they were no longer with the manufacturer and gave the patient phone numbers for 2 current representatives.The patient called those numbers, but did not leave voicemails.The agent reviewed role of rep, and the patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.
