Abstract
In an electrostimulator which applies electrical stimulation to patient tissue, measurements of lead impedance (tissue resistance), battery status, and like matters are used to format and/or truncate the ranges of programmable therapeutic output settings available for selection by a clinician. The clinician can therefore better tell whether chosen settings can actually be successfully implemented, and/or whether they may have adverse effects on device lifespan or patient safety.
