It was reported that the remote monitor had no telemetry, the progress bar stopping and beeping, and the reader lights blinking twice.The patient attempted to send a transmission, and troubleshooting steps included confirming the monitor was always plugged in, restarting both the reader and the monitor, observing a flashing blue light, attempting to reposition the reader, and placing a dry washcloth, but none of these actions resolved the issue.The patient was referred to a clinic to check the implant battery and to check the device with a programmer.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
