The Compliance column of each therapy provides an indication of the Compliance of each pathway.
Compliance is measured when therapies are tested on the “Edit and Test…” screen. The Compliance
indication can be one of the following:

IPG is not
Compliance is a measure of the ability of the IPG to deliver the programmed output amplitude. The IPG
delivers output pulses that maintain a constant electrical current during the duration of each pulse. There
are situations in which the device cannot maintain this constant current. When this occurs, the device will
not deliver the programmed amplitude throughout the duration of the pulse and Compliance will fail.
Settings that are out of Compliance cannot be saved in the IPG.

NOTE: All therapies with pathways enabled must be evaluated for Compliance at each follow-up
so that the proper settings are sent to the IPG. This should be performed even if the therapy
settings are not being changed.

Edit and Test Screen
The Edit and Test Screen is used to adjust therapy settings and record therapy effectiveness. Follow these
steps to adjust, assess, and program therapy settings:
steps to adjust, assess, and program therapy settings:
1. Select desired therapy settings and test mode in the “Therapy N” window.
2. Click the Test Now button to start delivery of the desired settings.
3. Use the Elapsed Time to determine when to perform a blood pressure measurement.
4. If testing is complete, click “Record” to add the entry to the Patient Response Log.
5. If more testing needs to be performed, go back to Step 1.
6. Enter BP, Heart Rate, and any observational notes on any entry in the list can be entered at any
time by double clicking on the box containing the information.
7. Select the Patient Response Log entry containing the final desired settings for the therapy.
8. Click “Save Selected Log Entry as Therapy N” to program the settings for Therapy N.
The “Therapy N” window contains a group of parameter settings that can be used to evaluate therapy
efficacy. Use the Pathway check boxes to control which channels will be assessed. Adjust Pulse Width,
Amplitude, Frequency, and Burst parameters to the desired settings.
