Instructions for use
Caution: The device is not certified for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. The consequences of using the device
near flammable atmospheres are unknown.
Caution: Do not modify this equipment. Modification of this equipment can result in
damage to the device, causing the device to malfunction or become unusable.
Caution: Do not use the device in the proximity of equipment that generates
electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI may cause a disruption in device function.
Examples of common medical sources of EMI are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
lithotripsy. Powerful computer monitors, cell phones, x-ray equipment, and other
monitoring equipment may also generate EMI.
Setting up the controller
After inserting batteries into the controller, a splash screen will appear, followed by a series of
steps to set up the controller.
Note: After completing these setup instructions, you can change the settings at any time
using the Menu.
1. Using the touchscreen, select the desired language from the options available, then press
the OK button to continue (Figure 2).

Pairing the controller to the external neurostimulator
To ensure correct pairing between the controller and the external neurostimulator, consider the
following recommendations:
▪ Ensure that the controller that you provide to the patient is paired with the patient's external
neurostimulator.
▪ Ask the patient to bring his or her controller to all follow-up appointments. Use this same
controller during any clinician programming. This will help to avoid pairing the external
neurostimulator with multiple controllers.
▪ If the external neurostimulator is paired with a new controller, the connection to the previous
controller will need to be re-established before the previous controller can be used with the
external neurostimulator again.
Pairing a new controller to an external neurostimulator
Note: Ensure you have the external neurostimulator serial number available. You will need to
confirm this information during the pairing procedure. The serial number is located on the back
of the external neurostimulator.
1. Press and hold the ENS button for one second to place the external neurostimulator into
discovery mode (Figure 7). The light on the external neurostimulator will repeatedly blink
for 90 seconds, or until the external neurostimulator has paired with a controller.

Adjusting stimulation parameters using the Model 3575 Test Stimulation
Cable
Notes:
▪ Before programming, ensure all connections are secure between the external
neurostimulator and the lead(s) or needle.
▪ For instructions on intraoperative test stimulation, refer to the appropriate lead manual.
Increasing and decreasing amplitude on the Home screen
When using the test stimulation cable, the external neurostimulator uses the following default
settings:
▪ The test stimulation cable is the cathode (-).
▪ The ground pad is the anode (+).
▪ Amplitude is set to 0 milliamps.
▪ Pulse width is set to 210 microseconds.
▪ Rate is set to 14 Hertz.
Note: The cathode and anode configuration does not change. To change amplitude, pulse
width, and rate, refer to "Adjusting advanced parameters" on page 27.
1. Press the Stimulation value button on the Home screen (Figure 32). If stimulation is off,
a new screen will appear.
Note: If stimulation is already on, the Stimulation value button will be outlined in green.
If this happens, proceed to step 3.

▪ For instructions on intraoperative test stimulation, refer to the appropriate lead manual.
Increasing and decreasing amplitude on the Home screen
When using the test stimulation lead, the external neurostimulator uses the following default
settings:
▪ The test stimulation lead is the cathode (-).
▪ If the Model 3676 Cable is used, the ground pad is the anode (+). If the Model 3579 Cable
is used, the second test stimulation lead is the anode.
▪ Amplitude is set to 0 milliamps.
▪ Pulse width is set to 210 microseconds.
▪ Rate is set to 14 Hertz.
Note: The cathode and anode configuration does not change. To change amplitude, pulse
width, and rate, refer to "Adjusting advanced parameters" on page 33.

Replacing the controller batteries
Notes:
▪ For information on replacing the external neurostimulator batteries, refer to the Model 3531
External Neurostimulator Technical Manual.
▪ If not using the controller for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the
controller to prevent battery depletion.
1. Open the battery compartment cover (Figure 80).

The controller displays three different types of screens: warning screens, alert screens, and
notification screens. These screens provide you with information about your system, alert you
to a problem with your system, or guide you during controller use.
▪ Warning screens display a red triangle at the top with an exclamation point ( ).
▪ Alert screens display an orange triangle at the top with an exclamation point ( ).
▪ Notification screens display a blue circle at the top with the letter 'i' ( ).
If you experience an issue not described in this section, contact your Medtronic representative.

Message
Explanation and Solution
System Problem
Cannot continue. Please call
your clinician.
Explanation: The system is not working correctly. Stimulation may have stopped.
1. Remove and reinsert the controller batteries, then
retry the action that caused the error screen to appear. For instructions on removing and inserting the
controller batteries, refer to "Checking and replacing batteries" on page 55.
2. If the issue persists, remove and reinsert the external neurostimulator batteries, then retry the action
that caused the error screen to appear. For instructions on removing and inserting external neurostimulator batteries, refer to the manual packaged with
the external neurostimulator.
3. If the issue persists and if using the Model 3093/3889
Lead, remove all electrode configurations by setting
all electrodes to blank for all programs, then reprogram electrode configurations and retry the action
that caused the error screen to appear. For instructions on programming electrodes, refer to "Adjusting stimulation parameters for the Model 3093 or
Model 3889 Tined Lead" on page 37.
4. If the steps above do not resolve the issue, the external neurostimulator and/or controller need to be
replaced.
