Description of Event or Problem · 1

THE PT RECEIVED AN SCS SYSTEM INCLUDING AN IPG ON (B)(6) 2007 FOR ANKLE PAIN. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PT ALLOWED HER IPG TO DEPLETE AFTER NO LONGER NEEDING TO UTILIZE THE STIMULATION. SHE RECENTLY ATTEMPTED TO RECHARGE THE DEVICE FOR THE PURPOSE OF COVERING A NEW PAIN AREA, BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE IPG VIA HER CHARGING SYSTEM. EFFORTS TO RECHARGE THE PT'S IPG WITH A NEW CHARGING SYSTEM ALSO PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL. FOLLOW-UP ON THIS MATTER FOUND THAT NO COMMUNICATION CAN BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE PT'S IPG AND TWO PROGRAMMERS. THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR SURGICAL INTERVENTION AT THIS TIME.
