Abstract
The possibility of false or inadvertent reprogramming increases with the availability of different and more complex programming mechanisms. A case of spurious programming during application of the Vitatron MPA1 analyzer to a Medtronic impulse generator (IPG) is described and the nature of the phenomenon is explained. It is concluded that the introduction of a simple and standardized "security-maneuvre" to which every IPG will respond safely, in the event of fortuitous dysprogramming, is required.Keywords
