- Reason
- The Bar Electrodes do not meet performance specification for electrode impedance. A manufacturing defect was discovered in disposable bar electrodes, part number 019-435600, lot 604664, that has the potential to reduce the amplitude of a motor or sensory nerve action potential. These possible lower amplitudes will be measured only if the bar electrode is used as a bar.
