Event Description
|
Information was received by a manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was implanted with a neurostimulator (ins) for failed back surgery syndrome and spinal pain and degenerative disc disease.It was reported a multi lead trialing cable (mltc) was used to check impedances on a lead and extensions.The readings on electrodes 4-15 were "invalid" and had readings over 20,000 ohms.When the lead and extensions were removed on (b)(6) 2017, and replaced with a lead, then the impedance test results were normal.The explanted lead and extensions were discarded by the customer.No symptoms were reported.No further complications were reported or anticipated.

Event Description
|
Additional information was received from a manufacturer¿s representative (rep).It was reported the rep did not remember when they met with the patient.The rep stated they remember one electrode read high, but they were able to get good stimulation coverage in the patient¿s low back and legs with new programming.The rep did not attend the patient¿s follow up appointments and more answers would have been discovered at the patient¿s revision.No further complications were reported.
