NOTE: If a Compliance check fails when using aggressive therapy settings, first adjust the
Amplitude downward until the Compliance check passes. If further reduction of Amplitude is not
desired, reducing Pulse Width may allow the Compliance check to pass. Also, be sure the lead
impedance for the channel being tested is in a normal range.

The Patient Response Log window also provides an estimation of the battery life utilizing the parameters
being tested. This estimate does not take the Therapy Schedule into account. Instead, therapies under test
always assume a 24 hour schedule. This allows comparison of the current settings to other settings that
have been tested. However, these estimates should not be compared to the Battery Life estimate in the IPG
Status section at the top of the screen. The Battery Life estimate in IPG Status always represents the
longevity of the currently programmed permanent parameter settings.

Clicking the Record button adds an entry to the Patient Response Log. An entry can be selected by clicking
somewhere on the desired entry in the log. The selected entry is highlighted. A vertical scroll bar will
appear to the right of the entry list if there are more entries than can be displayed. Use the scroll bar to find
the desired entry if it isn’t visible. Measured results for BP and Heart Rate, as well as any observational
notes that are related to the therapy settings, can be entered by clicking on the box of interest and entering
the information. (Note that the on-screen keyboard can be used to aid data entry.) The selected entry can
be removed by clicking the

There are two options to return to the Main Screen.
• Select the permanent therapy settings by choosing a Patient Log Entry that contains the desired
settings and also indicates that Compliance has passed on all active pathways. Then press the
“Save Selected Log Entry as Therapy N” button.

• If no permanent changes are to be made, choose “Exit without Saving”.
NOTE: All therapies used in the Therapy Schedule should be evaluated for compliance and re-

Adjusting the Schedule
The Schedule controls the portion of each day during which therapy is delivered. The Schedule is a 24 hour
clock that is started at midnight each day. The current Schedule settings are displayed in the Schedule
window (see Figure 7 for an example).
