A physician stated that during a generator replacement surgery, he identified that a patient had some foreign white substance identified in the generator pocket.Follow-up was performed and the physician's op notes stated that the physician saw something resembling a plastic coating on the fascia under the generator incision site, but that all the scar tissue was normal.The patient was seen post-op and reportedly not experiencing any adverse events related to the surgery and was healing normally.The explanted generator was returned to the manufacturer for analysis which has not been completed to date.No further relevant information has been received to date.
