Programmer will limit stimulation parameters to safe values.
WARNING: Increasing the number of Lead penetrations increases the probability of
hemorrhage. The necessity for an acute Lead revision should be minimized
using techniques of target localization, such as microelectrode recordings and
imaging, to correctly place the Leads on the first attempt.
