Program the Neurostimulator with the New Settings
The new settings are not sent to the neurostimulator until you complete this step.
Note: ECoG capture triggers are inactive during programming. Programming clears activity
information and ECoGs stored in the neurostimulator. If there is any new information, be sure
to interrogate the neurostimulator prior to programming.

ECoGs stored by the RNS
neurostimulator and leads may not be representative of the patient's typical baseline activity. ECoG
capture settings should be reviewed to ensure that the desired activity is being stored. If it appears that
ECoGs containing the desired activity are being overwritten by later events, instruct the patient to use the
remote monitor and wand to interrogate the neurostimulator immediately after each clinical seizure, or to
interrogate several times per day. Several interrogations per day during the first several days after
implantation will not have a significant impact on battery life.
