Save Functional Level
After the stimulation lead is connected to the generator, complete the following steps to confirm correct
electrode placement and correct lead-generator connection:
1. Use the arrow buttons to select the test stimulation amplitude value.
2. Select the Test Stimulation button to deliver one burst of stimulation at the selected amplitude; observe
the patient's tongue response.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the functional level is reached. If the electrode is correctly placed, the tongue
will move distinctly forward when stimulated at the functional level. If a tongue response cannot be
obtained at any amplitude, the stimulation lead may not be properly connected to the generator or nerve.
Note: If no tongue response is observed, alternate stimulation settings may be attempted. In addition, the
Impedances portion of the System Check Workflow may be utilized for troubleshooting.
4. Select the Save button next to the functional level to save the stimulation level.
Note: The sensation level is not recorded during implant.
5. Select Next Step.

Assess Sensor Performance
After the sensing lead is connected to the generator, complete the following steps to confirm sensor performance
and correct lead-generator connection:
1. On the Waveforms screen, change the amplitude to 1.5 V and select the Set Amplitude button.
2. Select the Start Waveform button to start the real-time waveform.
3. Review the waveform and verify that the waveform moves up or down with inhalation and exhalation. If
the waveform contains sharp high-frequency artifacts or a series of very short stimulation bursts, the
sensor lead may not be properly connected to the generator.
4. Select the Screenshot button to access the Screenshot screen and document the sensor performance.
a. Select Anesthetized under the Sleep Type labels. Additional labels may be selected if desired.
b. Select the Save button to save the displayed waveform in the session report.
5. Select the Next Step button. Stimulation and the real-time waveform will stop.
