摘要:A programming device compares filter information to information that
describes possible combinations of the electrodes within an electrode set implanted in apatient. The filter information describes at least one characteristic of valid, e.g., desired,electrode combinations, and in exemplary embodiments, is received from a user, e.g., aclinician, via a user interface of the programming device. The filter information candescribe a number of electrodes in valid combinations, a fixed polarity for an electrodefor valid combinations, or relational characteristics of the electrodes of validcombinations. The comparison process may be iterative. The programming deviceidentifies a subset of the possible electrode combinations based on the comparison. Byidentifying the valid subset of electrode combinations based on the filter information, theprogramming device may reduce the amount of clinician and patient time required toprogram an implantable neurostimulator.
