Information was received from a manufacturer representative regarding a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim and gastrointestinal/pelvic floor it was reported that the manufacturer representative was currently intra-op for an implant and is seeing "???" when running impedances.They had reseated the lead and was seeing all blue all the way through, changed amplitude to 2.0 and 250 us and move or lights and impedance were tested and the following results were reported: running impedance at:1.0 v 410 us "???" on c and 1, c and 2, running impedance at:1.5 410 us "???" c and 0, c and 1, c and 2.They also stated that they run impedance again with pulse width reduced to 210 us: c and 0 resolved, c and 1 ???, c2 resolved , c3 resolved and 0 and 3 > 4 ,000 ohms,2 and 3 > 4,000 ohms.Pat agent did not have caller pull 8870 out to verify if it is version mmb 8870 or mmb_02 8870.Troubleshooting resolved issue and mdt representative stated that bipolar combinations at 1 v and 240 us were not out of range and was advised that as long as the bipolar combinations are within range then caller can proceed.No symptoms were reported and no further complications were noted or anticipated.
