Define Tined Lead Thresholds
33
To explore the response to stimulation with one
electrode:
•
Select the electrode by pressing the electrode on the
screen. The top electrode on the CP screen represents
the electrode nearest to the tip of the lead. The
rectangle around the selected electrode will not be
faded

•
Adjust the stimulation amplitude

. Press the
stimulation button to stimulate

. (See manual
section
Controlling Stimulation Amplitude
for more
information).
•
The stimulation amplitude will be displayed next to
the electrode. For each electrode, the threshold
saved is the last amplitude used to deliver stimulation

•
Select a new electrode to stimulate or move on to
connect to a Neurostimulator

.
Note:
Only stimulation amplitude is adjustable during test
stimulation. The stimulation frequency is 14 Hz, and the pulse
width is 210μs.
Note:
Press the impedance button to check the connection
with the tined lead. If the impedance for any electrode(s) is
“Bad”, adjust the tined lead connection and the ground pad,
then recheck the impedance. See manual section
Understanding Impedance Values
for more information about
the qualitative impedance indicators.
