Industry Terminology
Competitive Terminology -H
Term | Definition |
---|---|
AdaptiveStim Technology | Embedded accelerometer automatically adjust stimulation as patient changes position. MDT |
BurstDR | Abbott proprietary waveform consisting of a sequence (or train) of five closely spaced monophasic pulses followed by a short interval for passive charge balancing before the sequence repeats. ABT |
BurstDR™ Microdosing | A power saving protocol in which the BurstDR™ program cycles on for 5/10 second & cycles off for similar time period used to extend the life of an Abbott non rechargeable IPG. ABT |
Combination Therapy | Multiple progs. delivered simultaneously (layered) including paresthesia based & paresthesia free. BSX |
Contour Sub-Perception Algorithms | Sub-perception program that shapes stimulation field over multiple vertebral levels. BSX |
Differential Target | Refers to more than on neural target. MDT |
DTM (Differential Target Multiplexed) | Multiplexed algorithm coordinating multiple signals at multiple anatomical targets. MDT |
Electrode Redistribution | Current steering algorithm. See MICS for more info. MDT |
External Pulse Generator (EPG) | Used for intraoperative testing & trials. MDT |
Evolve Workflow | An app on the Medtronic Clinician Programmer that offers guidance on parameter setting when running High Dose (HD) & Low Dose (LD) programs in sequence. MDT |
Frequency Pairing (10K & LF) | Sequential delivery of an HF10 program & low frequency program. NVRO |
HF10K – Ultra-high frequency (10kHz) | stimulation pulse delivered at amplitude levels below perception threshold resulting in paresthesia free stimulation. NVRO |
Layered | Delivering different programs simultaneously for pain. |
llumina 3D algorithm | Programming incorporates anatomic information, lead location, & parameter settings to enable "point & click" targeting. BSX |
Multiple Independent Current Sources (MICS) | Enables current to be divided in increments between 0 & 100% between any or all electrodes to enable more precise shaping of the stimulation field and also, current steering. |
Multi-area Combinations | Two or more programs delivered sequentially or simultaneously (layered) that target different areas of the spinal cord. Nalu, BSX |
mySCS | Digital version of a patient trial diary to record information such as pain levels, sleep, & activity during a trial. BSX |
Neuromodulator | An implanter who selects a system (company) & components to match individual patient needs |
NevroCloud | Cloud based software that collects patient & device data. NVRO |
Pulse Dosing | Alternating on & off times for delivery of HF10 stimulation to decrease power output & recharge burden. NVRO |
Signal | Refers to a program. MDT |
Snapshot reporting | Feature of the Intellis clinician programmer that reports on a patient’s stimulation usage, activity level, & recharge trends as recorded by the IPG. MDT |
SureScan | Name for full body MRI products. MDT |
Waveform Automation | Automatically rotates through pre-programmed waveforms while capturing real-time patient ratings. BSX |
