Event or Problem Description
|
|
Patient was implanted with a nalu peripheral nerve stimulator system on (b)(6) 2024 to treat lower back pain.After implanting the system and using it for nearly a full year, the implanted leads migrated away from the initial location at the cluneal nerve and the patient elected to remove the system rather than reposition the leads.A full system explant was performed on (b)(6) 2025 per the patient's request.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The patient had a pre-existing scoliosis and it is thought that the patient's condition affected the lead stability and is a direct factor in movement of the implanted components.Lead migration is a known risk of the nalu neuromodulation system, however the patient's pre-existing and evolving condition appears to play a significant role in this case.
