4.2) Testing Stimulation
During the initial lead placement, use the Hand-Held Remote OR the Clinical
Programmer to test stimulation with the Stimulating Probe. Refer to Section 4.2.1
below if you choose the Hand-Held Remote or 4.2.2 if you wish to use the Clinical
Programmer. If testing stimulation for a lead replacement, the Clinical Programmer

4.2.1) Testing Stimulation with the Hand-Held Remote
Remote Screens
Instructions
Unlock or Wake Up the Hand-Held Remote. (see Section 2.2.1 Hand-Held
Remote)
To select the desired frequency (12 or 100 Hz), press the button associated
with 12 or the button associated with 100.
For 12 Hz, the goal is generally to induce a sense of tension in the muscle. At
100 Hz, the goal is generally to produce a comfortable tingling sensation. See
Appendix G for additional recommendations regarding which frequency to
use with different lead locations.
Use of 12 Hz will set the patient stimulation session time to 6 hours. Use of
100 Hz will set the patient stimulation session time to unlimited (continuous).
Ensure that the Stimulating Probe is in the desired location and that all
connections to the Pulse Generator are in place before turning on
stimulation.
To start stimulation press the button associated
with the icon.
DUAL LEAD SYSTEM: Follow the instructions below, testing the first MicroLead (used with the light
gray MicroLead connector and cables). After the screen instructing you to “Connect Light Lead
Connector”, you will be prompted to “Start Testing Second Lead” (which will be used with the dark
gray MicroLead connector and cables).
