HOW TO USE YOUR PATIENT PROGRAMMER

Your patient programmer allows you to turn your therapy on or off and to check your battery life. You may also be able to adjust the stimulation within options programmed by your doctor.

DOWNLOAD THE PATIENT PROGRAMMER GUIDE

Your programmer manual has information about use, maintenance, and troubleshooting. With your Activa™ neurostimulator, you will also have an illustrated quick guide.

Your clinician will give you the printed manual for your programmer. You can get a replacement copy by calling Medtronic Patient Services at 800-510-6735 Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time — or by downloading a copy below.
