GENERATOR DIAGNOSTICS Screen
For the Models 100, 101, 102 Pulse Generators, if the Generator
Diagnostics (Pulse Generator Test) is successfully completed, the output
current will automatically be programmed to 0 mA.
For the Models 103, 104, and 105 Pulse Generators, if the Generator
Diagnostics (Pulse Generator Test) is successfully completed, the output
current will remain as programmed. If the Pulse Generator is programmed
to 0.0 mA, the Generator Diagnostics will report the 0.25 mA pulse used to
assess the impedance, but the programmed current will remain at 0.0 mA.
Caution:
For the Models 100, 101, and 102 Pulse Generators, during
both the
System Diagnostics
and the
Generator Diagnostics
(Pulse
Generator Test), the Programming Software automatically programs
the output current to 1.0 mA, the pulse width to 500
μ
sec, and the
frequency to 20 Hz.
Caution:
During a System Diagnostic for Model 103, 104, and 105
Pulse Generators, a test pulse of 0.25 mA is first used to assess the
Lead impedance. After the Impedance assessment, the behavior of the
diagnostic test is dependent upon the value of the output current
programmed in the Pulse Generator. If the output current is set to 0.0
mA, the diagnostic test is run with an output current of 1.0 mA, a pulse
width of 500
μ
sec, and a frequency of 20 Hz. If the output current is
programmed greater than 0.0 mA, the diagnostic test is run at the
programmed settings.
