EPLACEMENT
The tablet supports the transfer of all device settings from an old to a new neurostimulator as part of a
neurostimulator replacement procedure. With the

and

functions,
you can transfer all current neurostimulator settings (recording montage, detection settings, stimulation
settings, etc.) to the new neurostimulator.
Export and import are done directly through the tablet without using the PDMS—exported settings are
kept locally on the tablet—so no Internet connection is required. This also means that the programmer to
which the settings have been exported must be physically present with the new neurostimulator to import
settings to the new neurostimulator. This is not usually an issue because export and import are done on
the same day: before, during or after the procedure to replace the neurostimulator.
Transfer Compatibility
You can transfer settings from an RNS-300M to an RNS-300M or to an RNS-320, and you can
transfer settings between RNS-320 devices.

MPEDANCE
is a new feature in the RNS-320. It allows you to select which
electrodes to test for impedance. Since the feature is not present in the RNS-300M, you must
select the electrodes to test (and confirm programming) on the new RNS-320 before scheduled
impedance works. Its settings are created as part of the recording montage—see Create the
Recording Montage on page 32 for instructions.
Export Neurostimulator Settings
1. Interrogate the old neurostimulator, the one
from
which you will transfer settings.
2. Select the
U
TILITIES
(toolbox) icon at upper right of the screen. The
U
TILITIES
dialog opens.

. You are done. All current neurostimulator settings are stored on
the tablet ready for import.
Note: The tablet retains only the last device settings exported to it—from any neurostimulator.
Every export operation from any neurostimulator overwrites these device settings, if any.
Successfully importing and programming the settings from the tablet to a new neurostimulator
also deletes these device settings from the tablet.
