Troubleshooting
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 C
ONTINUE
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
3. Select the P
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
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.
