Issues Delivering Stimulation

Issue
Stimulation is not being
delivered during lead implant
procedure
Stimulation is not being
delivered during Stimulator
programming
Presentation
No motor or sensory responses are
observed during test stimulation
The patient does not report any
sensation of stimulation or symptom
relief
Resolution
If there are no blue bars in the stimulation bar when
•
stimulation is on, there is an issue with the connection.
Check the impedance using the CP.
•
Confirm the device cables are connected correctly.
•
Replace the cables if impedance is bad when the cables
are correctly connected.
If stimulation appears to be on, adjust the needle or
•
lead and stimulation amplitude until a motor or sensory
response is observed.
Check the lead impedance on the Patient Device
•
screen. If there is an impedance issue with the active
electrode(s), reprogram the device to only use electrodes
with acceptable impedance.
If there is still an issue, confirm that the CP is
•
communicating with the correct Stimulator. Try
disconnecting and reconnecting the CP to the Stimulator.
