Oh my, that is not the "Medtronic Model" of patient care. You are going to need to be your own advocate to get the service and care you need.

It is the responsibility of their tech to help you get the machine set up and operating optimally. Please contact her, and work your way up through their customer service to get the help you need. They may need to assign a next-level technician if this is not the usual use of the device. If necessary, get your doctor involved.

Do you have contact information for the technician? If not, look into the material they gave you about the device to find it.

Thanks for reply it good to have a forum to chat. I have no direct contact.I can leave message for her to contact me.But I did think it was not good enough .Will get my gp involved. It all so new for me.I found recovery harder than I thought it would be.They don’t really prepare for how long to recover.Wound site hurts when I drive with 3 young school age kids have to be able to pickups.But have to get husband to do for time being.

I have had several meetings w/ the thech and the doctor. The results have not been noteworthy.
