Device specifications
The Model 97725 Wireless External Neurostimulator (Figure 1 and Figure 2) is a multi-
programmable device that delivers stimulation through 1 or more leads. The stimulation
settings are stored in programs to target pain areas. A program is a specific combination of
pulse width, rate, and intensity settings acting on a specific electrode combination (up to 16
electrodes per program). Up to 4 pain areas can be targeted by programs. When stimulating
more than one pain area, the pulses are delivered sequentially—first a pulse from one
program, then a pulse from the next program.
Pulse width, intensity, cycling, and electrode polarity for each program within a group can have
different values. Rate, rate limits, pulse width limits, and intensity limits for each program within
a group have the same values.
