The patient reportedly experienced discomfort and migration of the implantable pulse generator (ipg) and leads following a significant weight loss of approximately 70 pounds.The device was reportedly functioning as intended at the time of the event.No patient harm, injury, or adverse clinical outcomes were reported.\
\
the leads were explanted and removed completely without complication.Two new leads were implanted.To address the discomfort associated with the patient's substantial weight loss, the ipg was repositioned and implanted deeper in the same pocket site.The surgery center discarded the explanted leads, so they were unavailable for return or device analysis.\
\
a review of the device history records (dhrs) for the associated ipg and leads was conducted.No relevant manufacturing nonconformances or anomalies were identified.
