Leads Information Tab [Profile>Leads]
Lead 1
through
Lead 4
are the default labels used to
identify the implanted leads in the “Stim” Workspace.
It is recommended that these names be changed into
something more meaningful, for example the body
region it covers.
•
Target Name:
for each of the implanted leads,
enter the body region covered (text field).
For each of the leads enter the Lot and Model
number:
•
Lot #:
Enter the Lot number found on the lead
packaging.
•
Model #:
Enter the lead Model number.
System Information Tab [Profile>System]
From the system tab the following system parameters
can be managed:
•
Periodic Impedance Interval:
Set the
periodicity with which you want the system to
measure lead impedance.
•
Follow-up Period:
A calculated field which
displays the recommended follow-up time
based on the programmed settings. It is an
indicator of when the programmer will run out
of memory and will begin to overwrite old data
for impedance measurements.
•
Ramp Duration:
Ramp duration is how long
it takes for the NS to reach the requested
amplitude. If set to 8 seconds, the NS will
take 8 seconds to get from 0 to the requested
amplitude when a lead is switched from not
enabled to enabled. Ramping also occurs when
the step between the current amplitude and the
next amplitude is greater than 100 mV.
•
Magnet Magnet Stim On/Off Time:
Allows
you to control how long it takes before a
magnet held over the device switches off or
back on delivered therapy.
Stim Workspace
Press the “Stim” tab to access the Stimulation Settings Workspace. The Stimulation Settings Workspace
is divided into five tabs which are used to:
• Activate (turn on) up to four leads
• Adjust electrode configurations
• Measure impedance
• Set nominal values to begin stimulation
• Perform trial mapping
• Confirm the response and sensation of specific body regions to be stimulated
Stim Tabs [Stim>Target Name]
The Stim tabs are the main tabs from which therapy is
controlled and programmed. This can be done either
temporarily (testing) or permanently.
•
Select Group:
Select the group for which you
want to change the stimulation settings.
NOTE:
in the Group Workspace, up to four
different groups can be defined each with
their own stimulation parameters. A group can
be linked for example to a specific activity or
posture. Refer to the Group Workspace section
in this manual for more information.
•
Select the Tab:
Labeled with the target
for which you want to adapt stimulation
parameters. (In the sample screen e.g. “L
Foot”)
NOTE:
There are up to four tabs that can be
labeled with the body region in which stimulation
with the corresponding lead is targeting (defined
in Profile>Leads). For each body region (lead)
stimulation can be adjusted independently.
•
Patient Refresh Impedance:
This allows the impedance to be remeasured and used
for therapy on the Patient Programmer whenever the patient turns a Lead Enable from
OFF to ON.
NOTE:
the programmed Pulse Amplitude will be adjusted based on the
updated impedance to maintain a constant therapy voltage.
