An inoperable implant was reported to abbott.The system was set to surgery mode while the patient underwent an unrelated surgery where electro-cautery may have been used.The implant was not returned for analysis.A review of documentation supplied with the implant states that electro-surgery devices should not be used in close proximity to an implanted system.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident is consistent with user error.
