Neurostimulator can deliver a therapy sequence of up to 5 individually configured therapies in
response to detected activity. The neurostimulator resumes sensing after each therapy is delivered. If the
activity is still detected, the next (sequential) therapy is delivered. If the activity is no longer detected, the
remaining therapies are not delivered and the episode ends. Therapy sequence refreshes with the
detection of each new episode.
The system enables you to configure behavior for the first therapy in therapy sequence in one of two
ways:
•
You can select different bursts to be delivered in response to a specific event detector (Pattern A
or Pattern B), as depicted in
; or
•
You can select up to two bursts to be delivered in response to any event detector, as depicted in
All subsequent therapies deliver a maximum of 2 bursts and are independent of the event detector.

Therapy Pattern B burst is delivered. Subsequent therapies, Therapy 2 and Therapy 3, are configured to deliver
2 bursts each, no matter which pattern is subsequently detected.
