Adhesive on the back of the lead may not fully encapsulate the metallic portion of the wire and button subassembly, potentially leading to exposed metal. There is a risk of electrical current leakage, which may lead to inconsistent or confusing muscle responses, potentially compromising the effectiveness of the intended use as the surgeon could take an incorrect clinical action.
