Charging the Stimulator
The SCS System's programming software gives your healthcare provider a conservative
recommendation for how often to charge, except when using the Precision SCS System with
MultiWave technology at frequencies above 1200Hz. This estimate is based on 24 hours per
day/7 days a week at the programmed energy output level. While you may want to follow these
recommendations, you can also develop a charge routine that fits best into your own lifestyle.
Developing a recharge schedule involves finding the right balance between four things:
• How much power you need in order to have effective therapy.
• How often you want to recharge.
• How long you want to recharge.
• How you would like to manage your personal schedule.
