Patient was referred for generator and possible lead replacement.The patient had experienced a fall had completely dislodged the patient;s generator and broken the leads.High impedance was observed pre-operatively and was thought to be due to pin reinsertion.When the patient was opened for surgery, it was noted that the pin was no longer inserted in the generator.The generator was then replaced and high impedance was still observed.The surgeon proceeded with lead replacement thinking that the lead may have broken during the patient's fall.The explanted lead and generator were received by product analysis.Product analysis has not been completed to date.Device evaluation for the report of the generator becoming dislodged is not necessary as reported event is not related to the functionality or delivery of therapy of the device no other relevant information has been received to date.The reported high impedance was captured in mfr.Report #1644487-2019-00377.
