    Infinity 7, Implantable Pulse Generator, REF 6662, Rx only, STERILE EO Product Usage: The Infinity IPG is an electronic device designed to be connected to one or two extensions. It is powered by a hermetically sealed battery within a titanium case and uses microelectronic circuitry to generate constant-current electrical stimulation. The IPG is conductive on all sides, which allows the IPG case (also called a can) to be used as an anode for monopolar stimulation. The IPG communicates wirelessly with system programmers and controllers, and IPGs are available in small and large sizes to accommodate different power needs.

    Description

    Infinity 7, Implantable Pulse Generator, REF 6662, Rx only, STERILE EO Product Usage: The Infinity IPG is an electronic device designed to be connected to one or two extensions. It is powered by a hermetically sealed battery within a titanium case and uses microelectronic circuitry to generate constant-current electrical stimulation. The IPG is conductive on all sides, which allows the IPG case (also called a can) to be used as an anode for monopolar stimulation. The IPG communicates wirelessly with system programmers and controllers, and IPGs are available in small and large sizes to accommodate different power needs.

    Reason

    The firm discovered a risk of loss of Neuromodulation therapy due to exposure of the IPG to monopolar electrosurgical devices (ESU) during medical procedures.

    Action

    The notification material is in the form of a Physician Letter and Patient letter which will be delivered to physicians and patients in the US.
