General Warning

Medtronic lead kits consist of leads and tools to connect the lead to
implantable extensions. DBS leads are implanted in the extremely hostile
environment of the human body. Leads may fail to function for a variety of
causes, including, but not limited to, medical complications, body rejection
phenomena, fibrotic tissue, breakage, or breach of their insulation
covering. In addition, leads and tools may be easily damaged by improper
handling or use.
