Adding a Patient
Adding a Patient
Note: When you add a patient with an existing stimulator, the Clinician Programmer imports patient information stored
on the stimulator.
For patients with an existing stimulator, add a patient by importing information from their stimulator. For new patients
with an empty stimulator, create the patient rst, then add the stimulator.
To add a patient from a stimulator:
1. Move the Bridge Communicator within 1 meter (3 feet) of the stimulator, and the Clinician Programmer Application
within 5 meters (16 feet) of the Bridge Communicator.
2. Tap Import from stimulator on the Patient Directory screen.
e Clinician Programmer scans for stimulators and Bridge Communicators within range. e pane on the right of
the screen shows stimulators that are in range and their communication status. It also shows Bridge Communicators
that are in range and whether the Clinician Programmer is actively communicating with them. Tap the patient’s
stimulator when found or optionally tap Stop Scan to stop the scanning process at any time.
3. Tap the triangles on either side of the displayed stimular to view stimulators in range.
4. Tap the stimulator that matches the patient’s stimulator.
e trial simulator serial number is on the label on the back of the stimulator. e implantable stimulator packaging
material and the front of the implantable stimulator includes the serial number.
Note: If a stimulator does not display in the list, make sure it is on, nearby, and not connected to another Clinician
Programmer, Programmer Charger, or Pocket Programmer by turning the programmers o or moving them out of
range.
