Abstract
The present invention relates to a compliance monitor for use in a stimulator unit used in various devices to provide electrotherapy. The compliance monitor comprises a current sensing element, a controller, and a timer. The current sensing element is electrically connected to the controller, and the timer is operably connected to the controller. The current sensing element is located in the stimulator unit to monitor the current supplied through an output channel of the stimulator unit. When the current sensing element senses that current is supplied to through the output channel, the current sensing element outputs a signal to the controller. The controller upon receiving such a signal enables the timer to be started. When a stimulator unit provides a pulsating current, the controller has the capability to not stop the timer when the pulsating current is on a low cycle, during which period no current is being supplied to the patient.
