    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE PT RECEIVED HER SCS SYSTEM ON (B)(6) 2007. IT WAS REPORTED THAT CHARGER WOULD NO LONGER LOCATE THE IPG BEGINNING IN (B)(6) OF 2007. A REPLACEMENT CHARGER DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ADDITIONAL TROUBLESHOOTING ALSO DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. REPORTEDLY, THE PT PROGRAMMER COMMUNICATED EASILY WITH THE IPG BUT WHEN THE PT TRIED TO INCREASE THE AMPLITUDE, THE PROGRAMMER TOOK AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME TO RESPOND. AN X-RAY AND FLUOROSCOPIC IMAGING BOTH SHOWED THAT THE IPG HAS NOT FLIPPED. THE IPG WAS EXPLANTED ON (B)(6) 2007 AND RETURNED TO ANS FOR ANALYSIS.
