| abstract |
Methods and systems for testing a pulse generator circuit are disclosed. The methods include calculating one or more impedances of a load from applied pulses and comparing the one or more impedances with an expected impedance. The results of the comparison are used to determine whether the pulse generator system is working properly, whether the therapeutic treatment may be initiated or continued, or whether parameters of the pulses should be changed. The pulses may be therapeutic or test pulses, and they may have various parameters of voltage, duration, frequency, or any other electrical parameter. The methods of the disclosure may be performed by a treatment system comprising a controller. |
