Event or Problem Description
|
|
Information was received from a health care provider via a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient (pt) with an implantable neurostimulator (ins).Rep reports the patient's device was not at end of life, the implant battery was at about 80% battery life remaining.Rep reports per the doctor the patient was reporting that "it wasn't working", and the physician elected to remove it after discussing this with the patient.Rep reports the cause was unknown, no troubleshooting actions were taken, and the device was turned on when they interrogated the device.Rep reports the physician did not allow them to ask the patient any additional follow up information.It was unclear if the device never "worked" for the patient or if the patient experienced a change in therapy/device issue.Rep reports the issue was resolved.
