Impedance Check
Impedance Check
Turn on background impedance checks to enable an implantable stimulator to check impedance each time stimulation
stops, or the trial stimulator to check impedance when stimulation starts. If the stimulator detects high impedance for an
electrode, the stimulator disables the program and all other programs that use that electrode.
Note: A patient cannot run a disabled program. A patient may have a disabled program if impedance checks were on and
they unplugged their trial stimulator while the stimulator was performing an impedance check.
e soware provides the ability to select low or high amplitude for background impedance checks. Low impedance is
0.1 mA and high impedance is 0.2 mA. Always perform an initial impedance check using the low setting. If the impedance
results are low or high, or the patient did not feel stimulation, perform another check using the high setting.
For more information about performing impedance checks, refer to Performing Impedance Checks on page 33.
