Event Description

Internal testing and data review identified that false low output current messages can occur when the autostim threshold is changed during the 15 minute temporary test.Once the user programs on day/night settings, the programmer will instruct the ipg to start using night mode settings for the temporary (15 minute test).If any settings not related to stimulation parameters (current, on time, off time, etc) are changed, the programmer will command the ipg to stop the temporary test and the ipg will re-eneter day mode settings.When a system diagnostics is performed, the programmer errantly compares the diagnostics results (which were run with daytime stim parameters) against nighttime settings even though ipg is in day mode.Since night time stim (2.5ma) is higher than day time stim (2ma), this is interpreted as low output current.Based on the reported programming sequence that occurred that day, it was consistent with the false low output current mechanism described above.Therefore, the patient's generator is expected to be able to deliver therapy as programmed.

Reviewing log files, it was found that during the programming event that occurred right after enabling day/night mode, the prone position detection was enabled and the low heart rate threshold was changed to 50 bpm.It is known that if any settings not related to stimulation parameters (current, on time, off time, etc) are changed, the programmer will command the ipg to stop the temporary test and the ipg will re-enter day mode settings.When a system diagnostics is performed, the programmer errantly compares the diagnostics results (which were run with daytime stim parameters) against nighttime settings even though ipg is in day mode.
