Vercise™ DBS Remote Control 3 Handbook, 92104391-01
A Stimulation Program
P
is a group of configured settings that produce the
stimulation to help you manage your symptoms. One or more Programs were
configured by your physician. Whenever you are using your Stimulator, one of these
Programs is active, and stimulation is delivered according to the configured settings.
The Remote Control can store up to four programs – numbered 1 through 4 – for
you to select and activate at any time. Each Program is identified by a number.
Each Program
P
may apply stimulation to as many as four stimulation areas.
For example, one area may correspond to a right brain target, while another area
may correspond to a left brain target. These stimulation areas control additional
parameters that can affect your stimulation therapy.
