Stimulation Guidelines
Charge Density
The Clinician Programmer (CP) software provides a warning when the charge density
at a contact is about to be programmed to exceed 30 µC/cm
2
per stimulation phase,
as there is evidence of tissue damage above this level. However, the CP allows the
stimulation to continue above this level.
Current Amplitude (mA)
Pulsewidths (usec)
This graph displays the recommended maximum charge density of 30 µC/cm
2
for different
combinations of current amplitude (mA) and pulse width (µs). These estimates of charge density are
only for the Boston Scientic DBS Leads.
WARNING: Patients may have the ability to change the amplitude with the Remote
Control. The physician should set and verify the maximum and
minimum amplitude levels allowed by the Remote Control to ensure
that current levels remain safe. Do not set the default amplitude outside
of the minimum and maximum amplitude range.
Note: A warning will pop-up on the Clinician Programmer screen if the stimulation
parameters will cause the charge density to exceed 30 µC/cm
