Patient Programmers

MyStim Patient Programmer Model 37743

The MyStim® Patient Programmer increases a patient's ability to manage his or her own intervention within clinician set parameters. It allows a patient to become familiar with the patient programmer during the trial. When activated, the GroupAdjust feature lets a patient simultaneously increase or decrease all program amplitudes in a group.

Accessories

Pocket Adaptor

The Medtronic Models 74001 (1x4) and 74002 (2x4) Pocket Adaptors can be used as a part of a spinal cord stimulation system for pain therapy.

The Pocket Adaptor is intended to be implanted with the new replacement neurostimulator in the same pocket used for the explanted neurostimulator. Implanting in the same neurostimulator pocket allows for a single-incision procedure.

a The Models 7471 and 7472 Extensions are bifurcated on the proximal end.
b The Model 7498 Extension is bifurcated on the distal end.

Warning: Evaluate the suitability of a Pocket Adaptor for patients with an implanted Model 7498 Extension. This extension is bifurcated on the distal end, connecting two leads in parallel. If one lead should break, an impedance measurement may yield a result in the normal range because of the presence of the second lead. Thus, open circuits may be difficult to detect, which can increase the potential for risks related to MRI.

Software

TargetStim Programming Software for N'Vision Programmer

TargetStim® transitions electrode patterns by using interleaved pulses and ramping amplitude to locate effective intervention. It can be used to quickly identify and refine intervention settings during intraoperative test stimulation, or it can be used to refine existing intervention during programming follow-up sessions.

TargetMyStim Programming Software for Patient Programmer

This software empowers your patients to steer their electrode array to keep stimulation on target if their pain patterns change.
