Event Description
|
Information was received by a manufacture representative (rep) via a healthcare provider (hcp) regarding an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for spinal pain.Patient has a cranial peripheral nervous system (pns) lead placed horizontally above her right ear and a pns lead placed vertically on the right side of her neck.The lead in her neck is still implanted and without issue.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient called her hcp to report that her cranial lead protruded through her skin on (b)(6) 2018.Stating the concern for infection, the hcp decided not to remove the protruding lead, so he trimmed the lead at the protrusion site and sutured it closed.Patient reported no falls, trauma or injuries that would have contributed to the lead protruding.The patient shared that on saturday, (b)(6) 2018 she had just woken up, was sitting up in bed and simply looked down, felt a ¿pop¿ and felt the lead protruding through her skin above her ear.Because it was a saturday and because she is between jobs without health insurance, she waited until monday, (b)(6), to report the incident to her surgeon.With respect to the patient¿s programming, impedance test returned normal results on her pns neck lead (lead #2).The representative deleted lead #1 from her programming and reprogrammed lead #2, which proved to return half of her therapy.The hcp plans to remove and replace affected lead at a later date to be determined.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
