triggers may be helpful in evaluating the detection setting parameters. These triggers can
be used whenever detection is ENABLED.
• R
ESPONSIVE THERAPY triggers initiate ECoG storage when electrical stimulation therapy is
delivered in response to a detected event. Selecting this trigger may be helpful in
determining if therapy was delivered appropriately as well as evaluating the result of the
therapy delivered. This trigger can be used whenever responsive therapy is ENABLED.
• N
OISE triggers initiate ECoG storage when a 60 Hz signal is detected in the ECoG signal.
Selecting this trigger may be helpful in troubleshooting the RNS
®
System. This trigger
can be used whenever detection is ENABLED.
• S
ATURATION triggers initiate ECoG storage when the amplitude of the ECoG is high.
Selecting this trigger may be helpful in troubleshooting the RNS
®
System. This trigger
can be used whenever detection is ENABLED.
• M
AGNET triggers initiate ECoG storage when a magnet is passed by the RNS
®
Neurostimulator. Selecting this trigger may be helpful in storing electrographic events that
correspond to clinical symptoms experienced by the patient.
• S
CHEDULED triggers initiate ECoG storage at a specific time of day (ECOG STORAGE
START TIMES). Selecting this trigger may be helpful in viewing activity occurring during
specific times throughout the day. This trigger can be used whenever scheduled ECoGs
are ENABLED.
6. Enter the number of ECoGs that will be reserved for each ECoG storage trigger.
