It is LivaNova’s intent to make the software as intuitive and “user friendly”
as possible. Messages and prompts will guide you through this software.
There are four menus in this software. The first is the MAIN Menu.
3.1. MAIN Menu
The following sections provide an overview of each of the MAIN Menu’s
four primary functions, as shown in Figure 1.
3.1.1. Interrogate Device overview
Note: See “Interrogate
Device” on page 14 for
more information.
The first option, Interrogate Device, is used to establish communication
with the implantable device (Pulse Generator). The other three options
work with data stored on the handheld computer itself and require no link
to the device via the Programming Wand.
3.1.2. View Database overview
Note: See “View
Database” on page 47
for more information.
View Database is used to view information from all Pulse Generator
interrogations and programming events performed by your handheld
computer and the Programming Software.
3.1.3. View Last Parameters overview
Note: See “View Last
Parameters” on page 53
for more information.
View Last Parameters is used to view the most recent parameters selected
for a specific patient or Pulse Generator.
3.1.4. User Preferences overview
Note: See “User
Preferences Screen ” on
page 54 for more
information.
