Why it was recalled

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) may experience routine system check during IPG charging, which may cause device reset. The device reset could lead transient loss of stimulation; patients may experience undesired sensations, transient worsening of movement disorder symptoms, which may lead patient to request surgical intervention for replacement or revision.

FDA root cause category: Device Design

What the company is doing

On 4/18/24, correction notices were mailed to Physicians/Surgeons, Hospitals, Healthcare Professionals who were asked to do the following: 1) Review any patient reports of undesired sensations indicative of potential device reset behavior during IPG charging and report these observations accordingly to the firm. 2) After firm verifies this device reset behavior has occurred during IPG charging, an in-field IPG firmware update can be scheduled for the patient s device. This will eliminate the possibility of a coincident routine device system check during IPG charging, thus preventing a potential system reset.
