Issue
The neurostimulator has reset. It cannot detect or deliver therapy until it is programmed.
Possible Cause
A direct current (DC) leak was detected when electrocautery was performed during surgery.
Actions to be Taken
1. Select CONTINUE.
• The programmer collects additional information and displays various messages such as
“Gather Information Working RAM”.
• The programmer then displays the message:
“To recover from the reset condition, continue the interrogation and then program the
neurostimulator. Synchronize programmer with PDMS and contact NeuroPace.”
2. Select C
ONTINUE.
• The programmer interrogates the neurostimulator, including uploading of any stored
ECoGs. The programmer then displays the S
UMMARY tab.
3. Select the P
ROGRAM SETTINGS tab and select PROGRAM.
• The programmer may display the message:
“The neurostimulator contains ECoGs that have not been uploaded to the programmer.
Continuing will delete the ECoG data from the neurostimulator. Cancel and interrogate to
upload the ECoGs.”
Note: Any stored ECoGs were already uploaded to the programmer, but they remain stored
on the neurostimulator because of the reset.
4. Select C
ONTINUE (if necessary).
• The neurostimulator is now programmed to the state it was in before the reset occurred.
5. If the reset persistently reoccurs in the absence of any surgical procedures, the
neurostimulator may be defective. Contact NeuroPace for further assistance.
