Abstract:
The present disclosure involves systems and methods of programming electrical stimulation therapy for a patient. A communications link is established with a pulse generator that is configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses. An intermittent electrical coupling between the pulse generator and a diagnostic tool is simulated. This simulation is performed by instructing, for a plurality of cycles, the pulse generator to automatically turn on and off the generation of electrical stimulation pulses. Each cycle includes a first time period and a second time period following the first time period. The simulating includes: instructing the pulse generator to generate the electrical stimulation pulses during the first time period; and instructing the pulse generator to stop generating the electrical stimulation pulses during the second time period.

Claim (Index 8):
A medical system, comprising:\n a pulse generator configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses as a part of an electrical stimulation therapy for a patient; a diagnostic tool configured to be inserted percutaneously inside the body of the patient to deliver the electrical stimulation pulses; and a portable electronic device that is coupled to the pulse generator through a communications link, wherein the portable electronic device is configured to simulate an intermittent electrical coupling between the pulse generator and the diagnostic tool by sending instructions to the pulse generator to turn on and off the generation of electrical stimulation pulses for a plurality of cycles; wherein: each cycle includes a first time period and a second time period following the first time period; the portable electronic device instructs the pulse generator to generate the electrical stimulation pulses during the first time period; and the portable electronic device instructs the pulse generator to stop generating the electrical stimulation pulses during the second time period.
