Information was received from a patient regarding an implantable neurostimulator.The reason for call was patient stated their stimulator was not working and they were hurting very bad since about wednesday last week.Patient's son then came on and confirmed stimulation was on and they had already tried changing stimulation.Caller said when the representative set up the programming, stimulation worked and stayed on and patient could slightly feel stimulation all the time.However, now after 10-20 minutes, the stimulation would shut itself off and they would have to go back to the handset and on the screen would turn the stimulation off and back on.Caller mentioned they had tried adjusting and changing programs already, but program 1 didn't do the patient any good anymore (even though it used to) and program 2 seems like it does ok, but also seems like stimulation would only stay on for like 10-20 minutes and then would shut off.The issue was not resolved.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the iss ue.
