Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The surgical issue questionnaire was reviewed for potential causes of the reported issue.However, the patient is on blood thinners and was not instructed to stop them which likely contributed to the bleeding after the implant procedure.A curonix representative conducted a review of sterilization and packaging records for the respective product lot; curonix has confirmed that the product was delivered sterile, validated sterilization parameters were used, and sterile barriers were verified to be intact following packaging.The stimulator is used to treat pain.The cause of the bleeding after the implant procedure is unrelated to the curonix device as the patient was on blood thinners and was not instructed to stop them (no fault found).Rates reviewed at the most recent complaint trending meeting do not indicate a significant increase in surgical issues.Surgical issue rates remain acceptably low; thus, a capa is not required at this time.Surgical issue rates will continue to be tracked and trended.
