The surgical issue questionnaire was reviewed for potential causes of the reported issue.Based on this review, implanting the neurostimulator after the expiration date, not prepping the skin with an antiseptic solution, and improperly closing the incision site were ruled out as potential causes.A curonix representative conducted a review of sterilization and packaging records for the respective product lot; curonix has confirmed that the product was delivered sterile, validated sterilization parameters were used, and sterile barriers were verified to be intact following packaging.The stimulator is used to treat pain.The cause of incision site not healing after the trial lead pull is unknown.The investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported issue.Therefore, conclusion has been selected as unable to determine root cause.Rates reviewed at the most recent complaint trending meeting do not indicate a significant increase in surgical issues.Surgical issue rates remain acceptably low; thus, a capa is not required at this time.Surgical issue rates will continue to be tracked and trended.
