Abstract:
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system having a recharging system with self-alignment, a system for mapping current fields using a completely wireless system, multiple independent electrode stimulation outsource, and [PG control through software on Smartphone/mobile device and tablet hardware during trial and permanent implants. SCS system can include multiple electrodes, multiple, independently programmable, stimulation channels within an implantable pulse generator (IPG) providing concurrent, but unique stimulation fields. SCS system can include a replenishable power source, rechargeable using transcutaneous power transmissions between antenna coil pairs. An external charger unit, having its own rechargeable battery, can charge the IPG replenishable power source. A real-time clock can provide an auto-run schedule for daily stimulation. A bi-directional telemetry link informs the patient or clinician the status of the system, including the state of charge of the IPG battery. Other processing circuitry in current IPG allows electrode impedance measurements to be made.

Claim (Index 8):
A spinal cord stimulation device for use in delivering therapy to an epidural space, said spinal cord stimulation device comprising:\n an implantable pulse generator comprising a microcontroller and an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an RF Antenna, at least one battery, a charging coil to accommodate charging of the at least one battery, and a casing, wherein the ASIC is configured to receive commands from the microcontroller to generate one or more stimulation signals; a lead extending from the implantable pulse generator to carry the stimulation signals to the epidural space; a clinician programmer application provided on a computing device, the clinician programmer application configured to communicate with the implantable pulse generator through an RF communications link in communication with the RF antenna, the clinician programmer application further capable of setting a plurality of stimulation parameters for use in generating stimulation signals; and a plurality of implantable electrodes attached to the lead, each implantable electrode configured to receive at least one of the stimulation signals and deliver electric stimulation into the epidural space, wherein the plurality of implantable electrodes are grouped into one or more stimulation sets, wherein the implantable pulse generator may be programmed such that the stimulation sets may be configured to vary an amount of the electric stimulation to the epidural space.
