Electrode
Select the Electrode button to change the location at which stimulation is delivered.
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
(Figure 4-14).
Figure 4-14. Inspire System Electrodes
Icons are used on the Electrode button to indicate the polarity of all system electrodes. For example, the
default electrode is shown in Figure 4-15.
Figure 4-15. Default Electrode Configuration
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.
See Table 1-4 on page 7 for more information about these icons.
There are five electrode options to choose from, starting with A (default) and moving to E (least used). See
Table 4-3 on page 48.
