Event or Problem Description
It was reported that caller initially stated that the patient had 4 leads but had to have 2 of them removed on (b)(6) 2026 due to an abscess.Caller wanted to know if patient is still mri conditional or if this affects mri eligibility.Agent reviewed patient's implant records and that showed manufacturer system (with 2 leads) was implanted in 2019.However, caller stated that patient had non-manufacturer leads implanted on (b)(6) 2021 but the notes didn't indicate if the manufacturer components had been explanted.Caller was going to look further into what the patient currently has implanted.Agent reviewed that if, by chance, patient has a mixed system, we would not recommend mris.Since the status of the manufacturer implantable neurostimulator, extensions and leads are unknown, it is unknown if the abscess on may 5, 2026 is related to the manufacturer or non-manufacturer devices.
