Remote Control Position; Stimulator Linking - Boston Scientific Vercise DBS Mode D'emploi

Remote Control Position

You will achieve a strong communication link between the Remote Control and the
implanted Stimulator if the Remote Control is positioned as shown in the picture
below.
In some situations, you may need to bring the Remote Control closer to the
Stimulator. The distance at which you will be able to achieve communication
depends on your environment and the relative orientation of the Remote Control
to the Stimulator.

Stimulator Linking

A Remote Control is restricted to communicating with one Stimulator at a time in
order to prevent it from inadvertently controlling an unintended device. Therefore,
the Remote Control must be linked with the Stimulator before use.
If the Remote Control is linked to a different Stimulator, you will need to clear the
link before linking it to the new Stimulator. See Selection #3 – Clear Link in the
Clinician Options section.
The initial step in the linking process involves the Remote Control identifying, by
telemetry, the intended Stimulator for communication. The second step in establishing
the link depends on whether:
• The Stimulator is an External Trial Stimulator or an implantable Stimulator.
• Programs are stored in either the Remote Control or Stimulator.
• The Remote Control and Stimulator contain different program sets (if so, one
set will need to be cleared).
