User Manual

HOW DOES YOUR STIMULATION SYSTEM WORK?
After your surgery, your doctor used a physician programmer (a
small computer) to send stimulation instructions to your
neurostimulator. These instructions control the stimulation you
feel.
The instructions are stored in your neurostimulator. If needed,
your doctor can use the programmer to change the instructions.
You have been given a patient programmer to use with your
system. It allows you to turn your neurostimulator on and off. It
also allows you to fine tune your stimulation. Your doctor or nurse
will explain how to use the patient programmer. Refer to “Using
the Patient Programmer,“ on page 41.
