It was reported that the patient saw a ¿call you doctor¿ end of service (eos) message on his programmer.He saw the message on the day of the report and was unable to adjust stimulation or get it to turn on.The patient experienced a sudden loss of therapeutic effect and stimulation.His left hand started shaking, so he grabbed the programmer to check the status and saw the message.Follow-up from the healthcare provider (hcp) reported that there was not 50% or greater symptom reduction.Reprogramming was not needed as the event was due to end of battery life.It was later reported to be premature battery depletion.Impedance testing was done and the ins showed a short on contact 1 and 3.The patient was reprogrammed in (b)(6) to these parameters and this may have been the cause of early depletion.The ins was replaced.Follow-up from the patient reported that he did have concerns with his device or therapy.The patient wanted to know why the ins had a shortage and did not last as long as the last one.This led to the patient questioning how long the new ins would last.However, he noted that new ins worked fine.
