The charger was included in a field correction.Date of event is estimated.The investigation for capa (b)(4) associated with heating while charging (pocket heating) concluded that the charger was capable of transferring energy to the ipg at a rate that would cause heating of the ipg and/or charging wand of sufficient elevated temperature to cause pain and burns.The heating while charging was determined to be exacerbated by off-axis charging of shallow implanted ipgs and that all chargers were capable of elevated heating.
