Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A large impedance change was encountered and is most likely the cause of the error codes that were captured.This large impedance change can result in error codes being generated in a system that is functioning within specifications.Possible causes for this include variations in the interface between the nerve and electrodes, tension being placed on the leads during the impedance check, or inadequate connection between the leads and the rechargeable neuroregulator.No evidence for the specific cause of the high impedance change that was encountered could be positively identified for this event.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
This patient underwent implantation of the maestro rechargeable system on (b)(6) 2017.High impedance readings were received after connection of the rechargeable neuroregulator and application of medical adhesive.Two error codes were then received: code 10 (therapy diagnostic failure) and code 30 (safety check failed).The rechargeable neuroregulator (rnr) was removed during this same procedure and replaced with another rnr without incident.Impedance measurements following replacement of the rnr were within normal range.
