(57) ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for administering percutaneous electrical therapy to a recipient. The apparatus can include an electrical coupler having a coupling member configured to be removably positioned at least proximate to a percuta neous probe. The coupling member can be coupleable to a Source of therapeutic electrical Signals via a therapeutic Signal transmission link to transmit the therapeutic electrical Signals to the recipient. The apparatus can further include a Status Signal transmission link at least proximate to the therapeutic Signal transmission link and coupleable to a Status Signal emitter. The Status Signal transmission link can be at least tamper-resistant and/or tamper-evident, and can be configured to transmit a Status Signal having a first characteristic value when the status signal transmission link is in a first condition and a Second characteristic value when the Status Signal …
