RNS
®
System Programming Manual
Overwritten.
Once the memory for ECoG or diagnostics is full, the neurostimulator will store new data by
overwriting the oldest ECoG records or diagnostics. Reserved ECoGs are only overwritten by newer
ECoGs of the same ECoG capture trigger type.
Patient Data Management System (PDMS).
The NeuroPace
®
Patient Data Management System is a
secure database that provides a means for a clinician to review information that has been transmitted by
the programmer and the remote monitor.
Pattern Detection.
Analysis of detection settings using the programmer detection tools and retrieved
neurostimulator ECoG records.
Patterns.
Patterns (pattern A and pattern B) use a collection of detection tools to classify electrographic
activity. Patterns A1 and B1 apply to the first chosen channel and Patterns A2 and B2 to the second
chosen channel.
Post-Episode Interval.
Responsive therapies will be DISABLED for this period of time after detecting the
end of an episode.
Power Change Detection Tool.
The power change detection tool (also known as the line length
detection tool) performs an estimate of the length dimension of a signal related to the complexity of a
signal.
Programmer.
The programmer provides the clinician with a user interface to select and download
operating parameters to the neurostimulator for detection and responsive stimulation settings, to view live
ECoG signals, to test the RNS
®
System integrity, and to upload data and diagnostic information from the
neurostimulator for viewing.
Programming.
Using the programmer to program settings into the neurostimulator.
Pulse.
A biphasic waveform of electrical stimulation delivered by the neurostimulator.
Pulse-Width Per Phase (PW).
Duration of a single phase within a biphasic pulse, measured in
milliseconds.
Reset.
When the neurostimulator resets, detection and all therapies are disabled, and the neurostimulator
stops storing ECoGs and diagnostics. (However, events prior to reset will be saved.) If you interrogate a
neurostimulator that has reset, the programmer displays one or more alerts that describe the cause of the
reset. When the type of reset is recoverable, the programmer displays instructions to recover, which
typically guide you to reprogram the neurostimulator. If the reset is not recoverable, or if recovery is
unsuccessful, note the cause of the reset and contact NeuroPace (see
).
Responsive Stimulation.
Electrical stimulation output to cortical tissue by the RNS
®
Neurostimulator in
response to a detection.
Saturation Event Detector.
Saturation occurs when an input signal exceeds the dynamic range of a
particular channel. The neurostimulator incorporates a saturation detector to reduce occurrences of
detecting saturation as a neurological event.
Scheduled Storage.
A selectable neurostimulator function that causes the neurostimulator to capture an
ECoG at the desired time(s) of day.
SimpleStart Feature.
This feature allows the physician to easily begin the process of defining detection
parameters by touching or clicking on the location in the ECoG where the physician would like detection to
occur.
