| Issue: | This issue impacts Percept PC patients with cycling enabled. When using the replacement feature to transfer settings from an existing implanted device with cycling enabled to a newly implanted Percept device, cycling is not properly enabled, though it appears to be enabled in the clinician programmer screen and reports. As a result, the patient's stimulation is always on, and battery longevity may be significantly reduced. All Percept PC replacement patients previously implanted with Activa family of devices are at risk for premature battery depletion if they are configured with cycling using the A610 REPLACEMENT workflow. |
