Checking the Lead Connection
An icon showing the impedance status of each electrode is shown
to the right of the graphic representation of each electrode ( 1 ).
See manual section Understanding Impedance Values for more
information about the qualitative impedance indicators.
The CP automatically checks impedance when it first connects
to the Stimulator. To check the impedances again, press the
impedance button:
Impedances may change from green to yellow as fibrous tissue
encapsulates the electrodes. This change should not affect a
patient's therapy because the current‐controlled Stimulator
automatically compensates for impedance changes. However,
such changes may require the Stimulator to be recharged more
frequently.
Impedance changes from green or yellow to red may indicate an
open circuit, which may be caused by a disconnected cable or
other problem with the device.
Note: If any impedances are red during Stimulator implantation, check the
connections between the lead and the Stimulator. Ensure the white marker
near the proximal end of the tined lead is seated within the Stimulator header.
Completing Set-Up
When set up is complete, the Patient Device screen is exited by:
Pressing "Disconnect" ( 3 ) to end the connection with the
•
Stimulator and return to the Home screen.
Pressing "Programming" ( 4 ) to proceed to set the Stimulator
•
stimulation settings.
Pressing "Define Thresholds" to redefine the stimulation
•
thresholds for each electrode.
