The Patient Controller RC app, developed by Abbott, is a valuable tool for individuals living with chronic pain who are treated with the Eterna Spinal Cord Stimulation System. This app allows patients to easily manage the programs prescribed by their physicians, providing a convenient and familiar interface on their iOS devices.

With the Patient Controller RC app, patients can perform a range of functions to customize their stimulation therapy. They have the ability to turn the stimulation ON/OFF, select stimulation programs based on their changing therapy needs, and adjust the stimulation amplitude to suit their comfort levels. The app also allows patients to monitor the battery life of their device, track the charging of the implanted stimulator, and adjust charger settings as needed.

One notable feature of the app is the ability to activate and de-activate Surgery Mode, which is especially useful for individuals who require surgical procedures. Additionally, the app supports MRI mode for MR Conditional systems, ensuring compatibility and safety during magnetic resonance imaging.
