Quick summary
This is the Lamitrode Tripole 3214, a lead used with an implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief. The 60 reports mostly describe the lead not working as intended — stimulation stopping or not relieving pain, and electrical readings that are too high or too low — often leading to surgery to replace the lead or the whole implanted generator, and one report of unwanted shocks. There were no deaths and 60 injuries, and no recalls name this device.
