    INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM A CONSUMER REGARDING A PATIENT IMPLANTED WITH AN IMPLANTABLE NEUROSTIMULATOR (INS) FOR NON-MALIGNANT PAIN AND SPINAL STENOSIS. IT WAS REPORTED IT COULD BE HARD TO START CHARGING INS BECAUSE INS WAS TILTED IN THE POCKET AND PATIENT HAD TO LEAN BACK IN A CHAIR TO GET A GOOD CONNECTION WITH RECHARGER. PATIENT WAS IN DISCUSSION WITH HER DOCTOR TO REVISE THE POCKET, SO THE INS WAS NOT AS TILTED. NO FURTHER COMPILATION AND NO SYMPTOMS WERE REPORTED.
