Event or Problem Description

It was reported that they discovered lead was showing high impedances on contact 1, surgical intervention occurred in order to assess where it was coming from.First, stimulation was provided prior to surgery in order to attempt to prevent surgical intervention through running current through contact.This did not fix the issue, the battery pocket/extension were unplugged and put back into port after being cleaned, this did not fix the issue.Then, the extension and lead end were disconnected in order to assess where the problem was.The lead was determined to be the problem, and was replaced by new lead and new extension (compatible with new lead) for patient's left side of body/battery.Issue has been resolved.No external factors known.
