Caution:
For Models 103, 104, and 105 Pulse Generators, during the
Generator Diagnostics
on a device with the output current set to 0.0

assess the impedance value. If the device output is programmed
greater than 0.0 mA, the Pulse Generator will deliver a 0.25 mA pulse
followed by stimulation at programmed settings.
Caution:
For Models 100, 101, and 102 Pulse Generators, if either the
System Diagnostics or the Generator Diagnostics is interrupted, the
output current may be left at 0 mA or 1 mA. See “Interrupted System
