Programming the Neurostimulator Stimulation Settings

•
Amplitude Range
•
The baseline stimulation level is set by the
stimulation level slider. When therapy is saved to
the Neurostimulator, the stimulation amplitude
1
shown will be the default stimulation amplitude.
•
The amplitude range sets the highest and lowest
stimulation level that the patient can reach using
2
the Remote Control. Use the arrows to the left
and right of the Amplitude Range value to adjust
3
it lower or higher.

Note:
The amplitude range must be set when programming
the Neurostimulator. The Remote Control allows for 3 steps
to increase from the baseline stimulation amplitude to the
maximum amplitude (defined as the baseline amplitude plus
the Amplitude Range). Test the stimulation range from the
desired amplitude to the maximum amplitude to ensure it is
comfortable for the patient.

•
Pulse width
can be set between 60 and 450 μs,
adjustable in 10 μs increments.
