    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER (HCP) REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT'S IMPLANTABLE NEUROSTIMULATORS (INS) WERE NEARING END OF SERVICE (EOS) AND THE HCP WAS GOING TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT SURGERY. ONE INS BATTERY WAS AT 2.68V AND THE OTHER WAS AT 2.77V. WHEN REVIEWING THE PATIENT'S TELEMETRY STRIPS THEY NOTICED SOME IMPEDANCES WERE UNUSUAL AND HIGH. IMPEDANCES WERE MEASURED TO BE THE FOLLOWING: C-3 = 21152, 0-3 = 23000, 1-3 = 23880 AND 2-3 = 23700 OHMS. THE INS WAS PROGRAMMED TO 1-, 2+ WITH A THERAPY IMPEDANCE OF 781 OHMS. IN (B)(6) 2015, PAIRS WITH ELECTRODE 3 HAD IMPEDANCES IN THE 18000-20000 RANGE. ON (B)(6) 2015, PAIRS WITH ELECTRODE 3 HAD IMPEDANCES IN THE 15000 RANGE. ON 2015-01-12, PAIRS WITH ELECTRODE 3 HAD IMPEDANCES IN THE 8000 RANGE. THE HCP WAS GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PATIENT'S THERAPEUTIC EFFECT, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF THE PATIENT WAS GETTING GOOD THERAPY SINCE THEY ARE OLDER, IN A WHEEL CHAIR, AND NOT WALKING. THE HCP MET WITH THE PATIENT ON THE DAY OF THIS REPORT. THE CAUSE OF THE HIGH IMPEDANCES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE ELECTRODES WITH HIGH IMPEDANCE WERE NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR THERAPY. THE IMPEDANCE ISSUE HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE PATIENT'S INDICATION FOR USE IS PARKINSON'S DUAL AND MOVEMENT DISORDERS.
