Medtronic Model 37711 Restore Neurostimulator. The Restore Neurostimulator is an implanted, rechargeable neurostimulator which provides pain management therapy.
Hazard
A limited number of Model 37711 Restore Neurostimulators have an incorrect internal memory parameter that causes the device to indicate it is fully recharged when it may only be 80% to 90% recharged. This anomaly does not affect patient safety. This anomoly can be corrected by reprogramming the Restore Neurostimulator using specific software.
What You Should Do
A 'Customer Communication' letter was sent to Medtronic field personnel to hand-carry into the affected accounts; customer contact began on 11/22/2005. The letter explains the patients implanted with these devices likely will only be able to recharge their neurostimulator to about 80-90% of a full charge. This anomaly does not affect device safety or effectiveness but Medtronic will re-program them upon request for customer satisfaction. The letter will be followed by scheduled on-site visit to reset the internal memory parameter of the neurostimulator.
