The RNS Neurostimulator can deliver a therapy sequence of up to 5 individually configured therapies in
response to detected activity. The neurostimulator resumes sensing after each therapy is delivered. If the
activity is still detected, the next (sequential) therapy is delivered. If the activity is no longer detected, the
remaining therapies are not delivered and the episode ends. Therapy sequence refreshes with the
detection of each new episode.
The system enables you to configure behavior for the first therapy in therapy sequence in one of two
ways:
•
You can select different bursts to be delivered in response to a specific event detector (Pattern A
or Pattern B), as depicted in Figure 53; or
•
You can select up to two bursts to be delivered in response to any event detector, as depicted in
Figure 54.
All subsequent therapies deliver a maximum of 2 bursts and are independent of the event detector.

HERAPY EQUENCE
Therapy 1 is configured to deliver a single burst in response to a specific detector. In this example, Pattern A is
detected at the episode start; Therapy Pattern A burst is delivered. If Pattern B is detected at the episode start,
Therapy Pattern B burst is delivered. Subsequent therapies, Therapy 2 and Therapy 3, are configured to deliver
2 bursts each, no matter which pattern is subsequently detected.

HERAPY EQUENCE
Therapy 1 is configured to deliver Burst 1 and Burst 2 in response to any event detector. In subsequent
therapies, Therapy 2 is configured to deliver Burst 1 only and Therapy 3 is configured to deliver Burst 1 and
Burst 2.
