Reported risk: Lead impedance values reported by the affected VNS generator will be higher compared to those reported by previous models. This is due to a change in the timing of when affected VNS generator takes the lead impedance measurement during diagnostic testing. As a result, normal impedance ranges for the affected VNS generator have shifted relative to the existing thresholds of 600 - 5300 Ohms defined in labeling and as present in the programming software.
