[188028558]
It was reported that the patient's device was able to be interrogated but was not able to have the settings changed, a communication error message was received. Information was later received that when the vns was attempted to be programmed or a system diagnostics was attempted, error code 254 was seen. Two different programming systems were used and the error was seen on both. A generator reset was performed and following the reset, a disabled message was seen along with low impedance. The error code messages, disabled message and low impedance after reset can be associated with a reed switch failure. Review of the internal data of the generator indicated that the run state of the device on was "stim inhibited" which can be related to a stuck reed switch. No further relevant information has been received to date.
