Only stimulation amplitude is adjustable during PNE lead
stimulation. The stimulation frequency is 14 Hz, and the pulse
width is 210μs. The stimulation frequency can be changed by
exiting Lead Placement and going into CP Settings.
Note: The stimulation cable can be disconnected from the PNE lead without
causing stimulation to be turned off. This allows stimulation to be delivered
on demand by tapping the mini-clip portion of the cable against the
appropriate area of the lead.
Note: If test stimulation cannot be stopped using the stimulation button,
disconnect the cables from the CP.
The area around the tip of the PNE lead graphic ( 5 ) will be
•
colored to reflect the proximity of the needle to the sacral
nerve. This information is used to evaluate the proximity of
the lead to the sacral nerve once the appropriate muscle
responses are observed (anal bellows and big toe flexion).
Grey (unassigned): Stimulation level is zero.
•
Green ("good"): Stimulation level between 0 and 2 mA.
•
Placement is acceptable.
Yellow ("not ideal"): Stimulation level between 2 and 3 mA.
•
Axonics recommends adjusting the PNE lead placement.
Red ("not recommended"): Stimulation level between 3
•
and 12.5 mA. Axonics strongly recommends adjusting the
PNE lead placement.
Press "Connect to Patient Device" ( 8 ) in the upper right to
