nominal parameters
Specific preset parameters available with the software; LivaNova
suggests that the Pulse Generator be set to these parameters when
patients are first stimulated
output current
Amount of electrical current delivered in a single pulse of a
stimulation, measured in mA
patient code
Any three-character value assigned by the treating physician;
generally programmed at time of implantation; often patient’s
initials: first, middle, last
partial onset seizure
Type of seizure that begins focally with a specific sensory, motor,
or psychic aberration that reflects the affected part of the cerebral
hemisphere where the seizure originated
pulse width
Duration of a single pulse within a stimulation, measured in
μ
sec
ramp-down
Gradual decrease over approximately two seconds in output
current at the end of stimulation greater than 10 Hz in signal
frequency
