7. Programming

Use the Programming screen to create and edit programs and subprograms. Patients can have up to ten programs. A

program is made of one to four subprograms. e clinician can also run individual subprograms from the Programming

screen.

Note: e clinician can run subprograms or programs using the Clinician Programmer, but patients can only run

programs. When a patient runs a program, the subprograms run sequentially.

Within a subprogram you congure stimulating electrodes, the polarity of the electrodes, and the amplitude allocation

for the electrodes. Also adjust the stimulation values (frequency, pulse width, and amplitude), the operating ranges of the

amplitude, pulse width, and frequency, and the range in which patients can increase and decrease the strength (amplitude)

of their stimulation.

Work with the patient and adjust program settings until eective therapy is conrmed with the patient. Use the lowest

settings possible that provide eective treatment. High settings may cause discomfort to the patient and may increase the

need for more frequent charging of the pulse generator. Always review programs with the patient.

Programming Workow

From the Programming screen, complete the following:

1. Optionally, tap the program name to edit the name of the program. e program names dened here show up on the

Patient Programmer Charger to help the patient identify which program they are selecting.

2. Optionally, tap a subprogram number (S1–S4) then a subprogram name to edit the name of the subprogram.

3. Optionally, perform an impedance check.

4. Add and congure electrodes to deliver stimulation for a subprogram.

5. Within the subprogram, adjust the stimulation parameters.

6. Deliver test stimulation and adjust stimulation parameters as needed to deliver proper therapy to the patient.

7. Advance to the Summary screen to save and view program settings and adjust them as necessary. You can also add

more programs or subprograms using the Summary screen.

Note: When you advance to the Summary screen, the program conguration is automatically saved and synchronized

to the stimulator.
