Viewing the Status of a Neurostimulator
The Patient Device screen for a Neurostimulator that has
already been set-up and programmed will include the following
1
information about the status of the device:
2
Device information ( 1 ):
This section includes basic information about the Stimulator,
including patient ID, Remote Control ID, and Implant Start Date.
It also contains an estimate of how often the Neurostimulator
needs to be charged at the current stimulation settings. Next
to "Est. Recharge Interval" the CP displays the expected charge
frequency when stimulation is delivered at the programmed
(or "base") amplitude and when stimulation is delivered at the
maximum amplitude (or "max"). This information should be
provided to the patient when their device is programmed.
Note: If a patient reports that their Neurostimulator battery is lasting <50%
of the displayed "Est. Recharge Interval", the Neurostimulator may have
exceeded its useful life and may need to be replaced.
Note: When a Neurostimulator has been implanted for 15 years, replacement
should be considered.
Lead impedances ( 2 ):
An icon showing the impedance status of each electrode is
shown to the right of each electrode. See manual section
Understanding Impedance Values for more information about
the qualitative impedance indicators.
The CP automatically checks impedance when it connects to the
Stimulator. To check the impedances again, press the impedance
button: .
For more information on lead impedances, see Checking the
lead connection in manual section Setting up a New Stimulator.
