FAST & FAST Programming

Question 1

What are the parameters that should be set with FAST on the CP?

Answer 1

PW= 210 milliseconds (range 160-260)
Frequency= 90 Hz
Mode= FASTI3D
Resolution= FINE
Focus= 12mm

Question 2

After successfully programming fast, and test driving, what should the CS do?

Answer 2

Turn off therapy to wash out, bring in physician, and turn back on so physician can see the difference

Question 3

Name the mode that we allow the patient to experience for 20 min at a time 3 x per day if they are having a bad day?

Answer 3

Bolus mode

Question 4

When we are trolling during programming, what level of intensity do we want to be at ?

Answer 4

2

Question 5

For fast target identification, we cover 100% of worst pain area with what before test driving sweet spot with Sub-P?

Answer 5

Paresthesia

Question 6

True or false: more = better in dose management of stim?

Answer 6

FALSE

Question 7

What is the FAST MOA?

Answer 7

Dorsal column SURROUND INHIBITION

Question 8

How does Surround Inhibition happen in fast (3 things):

Answer 8

Paresthesia guided targeting
Neural dosing
Active recharge

Question 9

BLANK + BLANK = FAST

Answer 9

Precise targeting + Proper Neural Dose = FAST

Question 10

In the anatomy of Gate and Surround, which neurons reduce the pain signals, and which send the pain signals?

Answer 10

Inhibitory reduce

WDR send

Question 11

What range of frequency did BSC expand to with active recharge in FAST?

Answer 11

2-1200 Hz

Question 12

While traditional SCS recruits both BLANK and BLANK fibers, FAST selectively recruits BLANK fibers.

Answer 12

Excitatory AND inhibitory

Inhibitory

Question 13

What does SMILE stand for?

Answer 13

Surround inhibition= More Inhibition & Less Exicitation
