Abstract
The present disclosure involves a method of providing graphical representations of medical devices and connections between the medical devices. A graphical representation of a lead is displayed. The lead is configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient via one or more of a plurality of electrode contacts. A graphical representation of one of: an implantable pulse generator (IPG) or a lead connector block is displayed. The IPG and the lead connector block are each configured for coupling with the lead. In response to a user input, a graphical representation of a connection is generated. The connection is between the lead and one of: the IPG or the lead connector block. An actual connection between the lead and one of: the IPG or the lead connector block is monitored. A status of the actual connection between the lead and one of: the IPG or the connector block is then reported.
