Why it was recalled

There are two issues within this correction action: 1. Cycling Issue: When copying settings from a previously used Activa device to a new Percept PC Implantable Neurostimulator (INS) using the "replacement" function of the A610 clinician programmer application, the cycling feature is not copied properly. 2. Log Fill Issue: When the Percept PC INS System Event log is full, the clinician programmer A610 Software application version 2.0.4584, 2.0.4594, 2.0.4605, or 3.0.1057 crashes when it attempts a reading of the last records in the log.
