To deliver stimulation, set the desired stimulation amplitude
•
on the Stimulation Bar ( 6 ) (see Controlling Stimulation
Amplitude for more information). Next press the stimulation
button ( 7 ) to turn on stimulation. The stimulation button will
light up when stimulation is on.
Only stimulation amplitude is adjustable during foramen
•
needle 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 foramen needle
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 needle.
Note: If test stimulation cannot be stopped using the stimulation button,
disconnect the cables from the CP.
The area around the tip of the foramen needle 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 needle to the sacral nerve once the
appropriate muscle responses are observed (anal bellows
and big toe flexion).
