Abstract:
A method, programmer for a neurostimulator, and neurostimulation kit are provided. The kit comprises a neurostimulator, and a plurality of elongated lead bodies configured for being coupled to the neurostimulator, each having a plurality of proximal contacts and a plurality of distal electrodes respectively electrically coupled to the proximal contacts, wherein an in-line connectivity between the electrodes and proximal contacts carried by the different lead bodies differs from each other. Electrical energy is conveyed between the electrodes of the selected lead body and the tissue, an electrical fingerprint is measured at the proximal contacts of the selected lead body in response to the conveyed electrical energy, and the selected lead body is identified based on the measured electrical fingerprint. These steps can be performed by the programmer.

Claim (Index 15):
The programmer of  claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to:\n perform a correlation coefficient function by generating correlation coefficients each representing a relationship between a received electrical fingerprint of the received one or more electrical fingerprints and a reference electrical fingerprint of the stored plurality of reference electrical fingerprints; and identify the each lead body based on the generated correlation coefficients.
