4.2 Patient Information (Optional)
The user may enter a patient identification, such as the patient’s initials or medical record
number, into the SAPS if the user chooses. If the user does not provide a patient identification,
the IPG’s unique serial number can be used.
1. Enter the patient identification into the Patient ID field, as shown in Figure 4.10.
2. Program this Patient ID to the IPG by selecting the Download Settings to IPG button,
located in the center of the screen (see Figure 4.1).
This is only required to be performed once. SAPS will recognize the programmed Patient ID
each time the IPG is interrogated. The IPG retains this information indefinitely.

4.3 Implant Settings
To enable each of the therapy modes, the button next to the desired Therapy Mode is selected
and turned on.
1. Turn on your desired Therapy Mode to adjust the Implant Settings.
2. Each of the implant setting parameters available in the Implant Settings menu has a box
next to the setting (see Figure 4.11). Select the box to display all available parameters in a
drop-down box.
3. Select the appropriate value for each parameter, and program the parameters into the IPG
using the Download Settings to IPG function. Examples of parameters are shown in
Figure 4.12 through Figure 4.15.
4. Once you choose new implant settings, always verify that the implant setting parameters
chosen are tolerable for the patient using the Stim Test Mode function. See Section
4.4.1: Stim Test Mode.
Once the values programmed via the Test function or the Download Settings to IPG function
are input into the IPG, all subsequent therapy sessions will be performed at these parameters.
The user can modify the parameters at any time by selecting new parameters and programming
them into the IPG.
