It was reported that impedance issues discovered during procedure. it has been known for this surgeon to use a cannula which causes air bubbles to be trapped and caused temporary high out of range impedance.During this procedure, the surgeon used the same cannula type. impedance tests were run with the full system versus using a lead test cable to test the leads and troubleshooting during the procedure cleaning contacts and ensuring proper fit at each connection site. the first impedance test was performed after ipg implantation, and not before the lead was secured in stage one. historically, patients have impedance issues that clear within a day or so.This patient will not be checked until the two week post surgical follow up therefore a report was warranted.It is possible that the impedance will be within normal limits at that follow up.Additional information received from rep that follow up appointment is scheduled for (b)(6).
