LINKING A REMOTE CONTROL TO A STIMULATOR
SETTING UP
To link a Remote Control that has been previously linked to a different Stimulator, you must first de-link
the Remote Control from the original Stimulator (see De-linking a Remote Control from a Stimulator
below) and then link the Remote Control to the new Stimulator.
To link a Remote Control to a Stimulator:
1. Press and hold the P button to unlock the Remote Control. The Remote Control will ask
if you want to link it to a Stimulator.
2. Position the Remote Control within 18 inches (45 cm) of the Stimulator
3. Press the P button to link the Remote Control with the Stimulator or cancel
by pressing the button.
4. Confirm the link by pressing the P button or cancel by pressing the button.
DE-LINKING A REMOTE CONTROL
FROM A STIMULATOR
To de-link a Remote Control from a Stimulator:
1. Press and hold the P button to unlock the Remote Control.

3. Scroll down to “Clear Link” and select “Clear Link” by pressing the P button.
4. Confirm that you want to clear the link by pressing the P button or cancel by pressing the button.
5. Enter the password A-B-C.
NOTE: To re-link the Remote Control,
see Linking a Remote Control to a Stimulator above.
To connect the Remote Control to the Clinician Programmer:
1. Plug the USB to Serial cable into a USB port on the Clinician Programmer.
2. Connect the USB to Serial cable to the matching end of the IR Interface.
3. Orient the large surface of the Remote Control parallel to the large surface of the Stimulator
4. Insert the IR Interface and Remote Control into the plastic holder to keep the IR windows aligned,
as shown below:
Enter the Clinician’s screen on the Remote Control by pressing and holding the and P buttons simultaneously.
Press the P button to select “CP Mode.”
• The Remote Control will inform you that it is ready to communicate with the Clinician Programmer.
CREATING A NEW PATIENT
To create a new patient:
1. Click the down arrow on the right side of the Patient drop-down menu.
2. Select New Patient.
• The Profile screen will automatically be displayed.
3. Fill in the patient’s information.
4. Required fields are denoted by bold text.
5. Click Finish to save the information.
6. Click the down arrow on the right side of the Reason for Visit drop-down menu.

SELECTING AN EXISTING PATIENT
The Clinician Programmer will automatically recognize a patient if you have previously
linked the Clinician Programmer to the patient’s hardware.
To select an existing patient:
1. Click the down arrow on the right side of the Patient pull-down menu.
2. Select an appropriate patient from the alphabetized list.
3. Click the down arrow on the right side of the Reason for Visit pull-down menu.

2. Click on the Area’s name.
3. Edit the text.
• Area names may not exceed 8 characters in length.
4. Click to save the changes or to exit without saving your changes.
2. To check the Lead impedances:
1. Click while in the Program screen.
NOTE: All measured impedances are saved into the Clinician Programmer database.
You may program the patient either by manually selecting anodes and cathodes in Custom Mode or
automatically trolling the stimulation field along the lead in E-Troll Mode.
E-TROLL MODE
E-Troll Mode is an enhanced way of conducting a monopolar review.
To E-Troll along the lead:
1. Switch to E-Troll Mode by clicking in the middle of the screen.
2. Select a contact to assign it as a cathode and adjust the amplitude.

of the middle panel on the Programming screen.
1. Click on the contact to select that contact.
2. Click on the selected contact to turn the contact into an anode.

PROGRAMMING TWO AREAS WITH DIFFERENT RATES
The Vercise DBS System allows two Areas to be programmed with different rates (or frequencies).
This feature allows you to simultaneously stimulate two areas of the brain with different rates.
To program two different Areas with different rates:
1. Turn on one Area and turn off all the other Areas.
2. Select the desired rate for the first Area.
3. Turn on a second Area.
4. Select the desired rate for the second Area.
NOTE: You will have a limited number of rates available for programming when selecting the rate for the second Area.
NOTE: Modifying the rate of either Area will alter the available rates for the other Area.
NOTE: When establishing two Areas with different rates, the first Area must be on
while the rate for the second Area is programmed.
