Figure 7.1: Basic Physical Properties of CI.
Upon starting and logging in to the CI, the user will immediately find a program icon
.
This will lead the user into the Clinical Programming Application (CPA) that enables
programming of either the Evoke eCLS or CLS.
Note: Login password for the CI will be provided by Saluda Medical representatives. Should
the CI operator or the CI operator’s organisation wish to change this password it is their
responsibility that all potential operators are aware of this password and can easily access
it should it be forgotten.
7.2
Clinical System Transceiver (CST)
The CST is a radio telemetry device that enables communication between the CI and the
stimulator (eCLS or CLS). Commands generated through the CPA loaded on the CI are sent
to the stimulator and data is received back from the stimulator to display in the CPA via the
CST. The CST is connected to the CI via a USB connector and receives power from the CI via
this link.

Clinical Programming – Using the CPA
8.1
Programming overview
1.
Test stimulation from several electrodes (see Section 8.7 and 8.8) and ask the
patient to report where they feel paresthesia.
2.
Determine the stimulation electrodes that give the best paresthesia coverage of the
patient’s pain area.
3.
Determine the settings that provide a good measurement of the neural response to
stimulation (ECAP – see Section 8.9).
