Presentation
Red impedance icon shows on the
Foramen Needle Placement screen
when impedance is checked for the
foramen needle connection or PNE
lead connection.
Red impedance icon(s) shows on
the Define Thresholds screen when
impedance is checked for tined
lead connection to the tined lead
stimulation cable.
Resolution
• Check that the green ground pad connector is fully inserted into the CP
and the ground pad is firmly attached to the patient.
• Check that the clip end of the test stimulation cable is connected to the
non‐insulated portion of the needle (just below the hub and above the
triple dash mark) and that the other end of the cable is full inserted into
to the CP.
• Press the impedance button to refresh the impedance value.
• If the impedance is still bad, replace the ground pad and stimulation cable
and refresh the impedance.
If the impedance is still bad, replace the foramen needle and then the CP.
•
Contact Axonics if the impedance remains bad.
•
Check that the tined lead test stimulation cable and ground pad are fully
•
inserted into the CP and that the ground pad is on the patient and the clip
end of the stimulation cable is connect to the lead.
• Make sure the introducer sheath is withdrawn past the most proximal
electrode.
• Reconnect the clip to the tined lead and check the impedance. If the bad
impedance switches to a different electrode(s), reconnect the clip again.
• If all the electrodes continue to show bad impedance, replace the ground
pad and stimulation cable and refresh the impedance.
• If the impedance is still bad, replace the tined lead and then the CP.
• Contact Axonics if the impedance remains bad.
