Event Description
|
A consumer implanted for spinal pain and chronic low back pain reported via the manufacturer's representative (rep) that stimulation turned off when they stood up, and would go off and on when standing without any reason.There were no factors reported that could have contributed to this.An impedance check was performed while the consumer was sitting with all normal results.An impedance test was performed when the consumer was standing which showed a short and "xxx" on electrodes 3, 4, 5, and 6.The rep.Was guessing the lead was fractured, and worked in certain positions, but not others.Programming was moved to electrodes 0 and 1 and the problem was resolved.It was noted if the current programming didn't work in the future the leads would be revised, but at the current time the issue was resolved.
