Chapter 12 - Technical Specifications

Capabilities

• Communication between the patient programmer and EPT

• Communication between the Clinician Programmer and Bluetooth-

enabled printer

Functions

RF Communication is used between the EPT and patient programmer,

enabling the Clinician Programmer to perform the following functions:

• Define stimulation parameters and programs (e.g., pulse width, amplitude)

• Control stimulation (e.g., start/stop stimulation, change programs,

adjust stimulation amplitude)

• Display system status (e.g., battery charge level, error codes)

• Retrieve patient stimulation session data

Bluetooth communication is used between the clinician programmer and

the HP printer to print stimulation parameters and use history.

Modes

• Online Clinician Programmer mode (Clinician Programmer connected to

patient programmer and EPT)
