Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was discarded, making it unavailable for analysis.X-ray imaging confirmed the reported lead migration.Without the return of the device, it is not possible to reach a definitive root cause.The evoke scs system surgical guide details risks associated with surgery and spinal cord stimulation including, "lead migration or suboptimal placement, which may result in undesirable stimulation changes" and continues by stating, "the patient may require surgery (including revision, explant, and replacement)" as a result.
