Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary/bowel dysfunction, fecal incontinence.It was reported that the reason for the call was the patient said they changed the time on the handset from new zealand time back to the us time and when they opened the micro my therapy app to check the battery status they saw a message that said data has been lost contact your physician.The patient said this was what happened before (see (b)(6)).The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.The patient said they didn't have a doctor they were currently working with.The patient said when this happened in the past they spoke with someone over the phone who gave them a password to get into the app where they could see all their programs and they were able to clear this message and get therapy turned back on.The patient said they would like that to be done again.Patient services reviewed the patient app vs clinician app.The patient asked for an exception and to speak with a supervisor.The agent reviewed the password could not be given to patients.The patient said they were a retired oncologist.The agent sent physician listings.The patient said they had a physical therapy appointment and didn't want to have bowel issues during the appointment.
