It was reported that the system was being checked prior to the patient getting an mri.Upon interrogation, the programmer displayed a high impedance message.The low energy impedances were greater than 400 ohms.Also, the therapy was off.There was some programming done earlier and the auto setup feature had not been run.Now, the device could not be programmed to the mri mode due to the high impedances, and the likelihood that the auto set feature had not been completed.Technical services advised if the auto setup feature was run previously, and a high impedance is encountered, it can cause the therapy to turn off.The doctor elected to leave the therapy off and do the mri anyway.A review of the device downloaded data confirmed the impedances have been increasing since 2022.There were no adverse patient effects.The system remains implanted.
