Defining The Amplitude Range - Boston Scientific Vercise DBS Mode D'emploi

Defining the Amplitude Range

By default, patients will not have the ability to adjust the amplitude of their stimulation. However, in
some cases, you may want to give a patient the ability to adjust the amplitude of their stimulation
using the remote Control. In these cases, you must unlock Remote Control amplitude adjustments
and define an amplitude range.
The Area Settings screen allows you to view and edit the amplitude range allowed by the patient's
Remote Control. The amplitude range is defined by the minimum and maximum stimulation
amplitude. The patient may only adjust his or her stimulation amplitude within this range.
Note: The patient cannot adjust the pulse width and rate of stimulation with the Remote
Control.
To unlock the ability for patients to adjust stimulation amplitude with the Remote Control:
1
Click from any screen.
2
Click on the left of the screen.
3
Uncheck the Lockout Remote Amplitude option.
To define the amplitude range for an Area:
1 Ensure "Lockout Remote Amplitude" is disabled (see above).
2 From the Program screen, click
Each Area may have a different amplitude range.
3 Set the minimum amplitude using the
The minimum amplitude allowed is 0 mA.
