Postural Changes. 
Patients should be advised that changes in pos-
ture or abrupt movements may cause decreases, or uncomfortable or 
painful increases in the perceived stimulation level.
 
Patients should 
be advised to turn down the amplitude or turn off the IPG before mak-
ing posture changes. If unpleasant sensations occur, the IPG should be 
turned off immediately.
Electromagnetic Interference.
 Strong electromagnetic fields can 
potentially turn the Stimulator off, or cause uncomfortable or jolting 
stimulation. Patients should be counseled to avoid or exercise care 
around:
• Theft detectors or security screeners such as those used at 
entrances/exits of department stores, libraries, and other 
public establishments, and/or airport security screening 
devices. It is recommended that patients request assistance to 
bypass the device. If they must proceed through the device, 
the patient should turn off the Stimulator and proceed with 
caution, ensuring to move through the center of the screener 
as quickly as possible.
• Power lines or power generators
• Electric steel furnaces and arc welders
• Large, magnetized stereo speakers
Precautions
Physician training is required.
Medical Devices/Therapies. 
The following medical therapies or 
procedures may turn stimulation off or may cause permanent damage 
to the Stimulator, particularly if used in close proximity to the device:
• lithotripsy
• electrocautery: Do not use monopolar cautery.
• external defibrillation
• radiation therapy
