    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    A REPORT WAS RECEIVED THAT THE PATIENT'S IPG WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE AFTER A NON-DEVICE RELATED SURGERY WHEREIN ELECTROCAUTERY WAS USED. THE PATIENT UNDERWENT AN IPG REPLACEMENT AND WAS DOING WELL FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE. MONOPOLAR ELECTROCAUTERY IS A KNOWN SOURCE OF HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSIENT SIGNAL AND CURRENT COMPANY LABELING WARNS AGAINST THE USE OF MONOPOLAR ELECTROCAUTERY. (PHYSICIAN'S IMPLANT MANUAL 9055940-001).
