  • Descripción del producto
    Nuvectra, Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System Clinical Programmer, Model 4500. For use with Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation Systems. The version of the software in the Clinician Programmer is v1.1.5. || The Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation system consists of a stimulator (EPG or IPG) that is physically and electrically connected to one or more leads inserted into the patient¿¿"s spinal epidural space. The lead delivers electrical stimulation originating at the stimulator with the purpose of blocking pain signals going to the patient¿¿"s brain. The stimulators are rechargeable, and the frequency of recharging is dependent on individual patient¿¿"s use of the system. || The Clinician Programmer (CP) is a hand-held, touch screen device used to create and adjust stimulation parameters that are developed to optimize the therapy for each patient. The CP communicates with the stimulator via the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS). The CP wirelessly transfers the stimulation parameters to the stimulator. In most clinical settings, the CP can be used by the Health Care Professional to program multiple patient EPGs and IPGs
