Certain Model 3000 programming events can result in miscalculation of parameters stored in the Models 103, 104, 105, and 106 generators. During these programming events, the miscalculations can lead to: " Delivery of more stimulation than intended, resulting in painful stimulation or other common side effects (Model 106 only); " No stimulation in the case of device disablement (Burst Watchdog Timeout), resulting in no therapy to the patient (Model 106 only); " Delivery of less stimulation than intended, resulting in therapeutic settings not being achieved within device specification (Models 103, 104, 105, or 106); and/or " Delays or absence of the 75% and 50% battery life indicators displayed by the programming software (Models 103, 104, 105, or 106).
