Description of Event or Problem

REGARDING BIOVENTUS BIONESS L300 (ELECTRONIC ORTHOSIS). THE QUALITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PADS FOR THIS DEVICE HAS DECLINED DRAMATICALLY. THE PADS ARE (B)(6) FOR A ONE YEAR SUPPLY, HOWEVER, THEY NOW DON'T LAST NEAR AS A LONG, AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES AS FAST, INCREASING COSTS DRAMATICALLY. A ONE YEAR SUPPLY NOW LASTS ONLY 3-4 MONTHS. WE STARTED NOTICING THE FAST WEAR OUT OF THE PADS AS MY HUSBAND BEGAN EXPERIENCING SHOCKS FROM THE UNIT DUE TO THE QUICK WEAR DOWN.
