Illumina 3D™ Programming Algorithm
A single term to describe a group of the following terms 1) 3D Stimulation Mapping Technology,
2) LeadSync Technology, 3) SmoothWave™ Technology, and 4) FluoroSync Interface.
Impedance (Ω)
The total opposition offered by a medium (e.g. tissue) to the flow of charged particles (current).
Implant
The Spinal Cord Stimulator System implanted in the patient.
LeadSync Technology
A technology that measures the relative rostrocaudal orientation between two or more leads in the
same Lead Group
4.
Mapping
The process of exploring how different stimulation settings affect where the patient feels stimulation, for
the purpose of creating customized stimulation programs.
Microseconds (μs)
One millionth of a second (10
-6
s).
Navigate
An automated programming mode that uses multiple electrode combinations to fine tune and optimize
stimulation coverage with high resolution. Navigate mode integrates information from the rostrocaudal
positioning of the leads, the mediolateral positioning of the leads, and approximations from published
values for dCSF thickness, according to the user-defined lead placement.

Prism Targeting Technology
Prism Targeting Technology utilizes multiple independent current control (MICC) to better focus the
stimulation field of the primary cathode, either laterally or rostrocaudally. Prism targeting involves
anode intensification programming that distributes current from the primary cathode to the IPG, thereby
increasing the relative strength of “guarding” anodes.
Program
A stimulation configuration consisting of up to four independent pain coverage areas.
Program Database
A list of Programs that were once saved in the Stimulator (i.e., program history).
