System User Manual
Viewing Real-time ECoGs
1. Keep the wand in place over the neurostimulator.
2. Go to R
EVIEW DATA tab.
3. Select the R
EAL-TIME ECOGS tab.
Storing a Real-time ECoG
1. Select the STOP button to stop the ECoG from scrolling.
2. Select the S
TORE button to save the ECoG record.
Note: The maximum length for a real-time ECoG is four minutes. If the real-time ECoG is
allowed to scroll for more than four minutes, only the last four minutes are stored.
Note: Real-time ECoGs are stored on the programmer, not in the neurostimulator memory, and
are uploaded to PDMS when the programmer is synchronized.
Note: Real-time ECoGs may also be viewed and saved from the T
EST STIMULATION tab.
Precaution: Real-time ECoG artifact
The start and/or stop of a real-time ECoG may produce an electrographic artifact.
If responsive therapy is enabled with a sensitive detection set, detection of the
electrographic artifact may occur resulting in therapy delivery.
O
BTAINING NEUROSTIMULATOR ACTIVITY INFORMATION
The summary page, displayed after interrogation, contains a record of RNS
®
Neurostimulator activity.
It contains the number and details of the events detected and responsive therapies delivered since
the last neurostimulator interrogation or programming. The diagnostic summary is cleared each time
the neurostimulator is interrogated or programmed.
Note: Recently retrieved neurostimulator information is stored in the programmer. A full history is
located on the PDMS.
Viewing a Detailed Summary of Neurostimulator Activity
1. Go to REVIEW DATA tab.
2. The A
CTIVITY LOG page is displayed. To view a list of event types, dates, and times, select
D
ETAILED VIEW button.
Graphically Viewing Long-Term (Up To 28 Days of) Neurostimulator Activity
1. Go to HISTOGRAMS tab.
2. Select “Month by Day” or “Day by Hour”.

EVIEWING ECOG RECORDS RETRIEVED FROM THE RNS
®
NEUROSTIMULATOR
Stored ECoGs reside in the RNS
®
Neurostimulator memory until they are “retrieved” by the
programmer or overwritten by subsequent ECoGs. Retrieving ECoGs from the neurostimulator occurs
each time the neurostimulator is interrogated. The ECoGs are then cleared from the neurostimulator
and archived on the programmer for review.
