HARDWARE & BATTERY SURVEILLANCE

  • The implant is a system, not just a lead
  • LEAD
  • EXT
  • IPG
  • WHAT TO CHECK
  • LEAD — migration • fracture • impedance
  • EXTENSION — fracture • disconnection • erosion
  • IPG — battery • charge status • malfunction
  • WOUND — infection • erosion • skin integrity
  • MRI — device-specific MRI conditions
  • CLINICAL PEARL • New loss of benefit = check the patient AND the system.
  • Dr Vikas Kathuria | MCh Neurosurgery
