The generator is housed in a hermetically sealed titanium case and is powered by a single battery. Electrical signals are transmitted from the generator to the vagu
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.
