Abbott Prodigy 3855 - Setting the Stimulation Mode

Seng Maximum Tolerable Amplitude (MaxTol)
Maximum tolerable amplitude is the maximum level at which smulaon is tolerable and eecve. Once you
set the MaxTol parameter, the paent cannot increase the amplitude past this value without going through a
manual bypass process. Maximum tolerable amplitude is an important safety feature that reduces the
possibility of the paent being oversmulated. The programmer also uses this value to determine the usage
range of the amplitude, and it must be properly set for each sm set.
To set maximum tolerable amplitude:
1.
Use MainAmp to establish a maximum tolerable level.
1.
2. Press the Balance key unl it highlights the MaxTol eld.2.
Figure 61. Highlight the MaxTol eld
CAUTION: Do not set the maximum tolerable value too high or the paent may receive unwanted
smulaon.
3.
Press the Amplitude Increase (or Decrease) key and set the highest value at which the paent receives
3.
smulaon that is tolerable and eecve.
Seng the Smulaon Mode
The smulaon mode governs how the IPG delivers the smulaon. Three modes are available: connuous,
cycle, and bolus.
NOTE: If you do not set a mode, the system sets the connuous mode by default.
To Set Connuous Smulaon Mode
Connuous mode provides connuous smulaon to the paent. When the system is turned on, it delivers
therapy unl it is manually turned o. Connuous mode is the default mode and does not display a mode
indicator on the Operaonal Display screen.

To set the smulaon mode to connuous:
1.
From the Program screen, press the Balance key unl it highlights the SmMode eld, and press the
1.
Balance key again. The SmMode screen appears.
2. Press the Amplitude Increase key unl CONT appears in the SmMode eld.2.
