Electrodes
Electrodes are used to deliver stimulation to the patient. There are three electrodes in the Inspire system, two on
the lead and one that is integrated into the generator case. The two lead electrodes are designed so that one
center electrode is placed between the outer electrode.
Table 1-4 describes the icons used to represent electrodes on the programming screens. See “Electrode” on
page 47 for more information.
These icons are used to indicate the polarity of all system electrodes. For example, the default electrode is shown
in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2. Default Electrode
In this configuration, the three square lead electrode icons indicate that the outer electrode is positive and the
center electrode is negative. The round, filled-in case electrode indicates that the electrode is off and not used in
this configuration.
