Communication issues were encountered during implantation of the maestro rechargeable system.Error messages encountered included: error code 06 (brown out condition) and an error indicating that the rechargeable neuroregulator (rnr) had been subjected to a magnet swipe.Attempts to re-boot the clinician programmer and replace external system components (transmit coils and mobile charger) used during the implant did not resolve the issues.It was therefore decided not to implant the rnr, and use an alternate rnr instead.The implantation procedure was completed without adverse impact to the patient.Upon return of the rnr, investigation determined this implantable component, which was not yet implanted, to have a malfunction (poor connection of a component on the circuit assembly) which resulted in the communication issues.
