• ultrasonic scanning
• high-output ultrasound

If any of the above is required by medical necessity, refer to “Instruc-
tions for the Physician” on page 16. Ultimately, however, the device 
may require explantation as a result of damage to the device.

Patients should not operate 

automobiles, other motorized vehicles, or potentially dangerous 
machinery/equipment with therapeutic stimulation switched on. Stim-
ulation must be turned off first. Sudden stimulation changes, if they 
occur, may distract patients from attentive operation of the vehicle or 
equipment.

During the two weeks following surgery, it is 

important to use extreme care so that appropriate healing will secure 
the implanted components and close the surgical incisions: 

• Do not lift objects of more than five pounds.
• Do not engage in rigorous physical activity such as twisting, 

bending, or climbing.

• If new leads were implanted, do not raise your arms above your 

head.

Temporarily, there may be some pain in the area of the implant as the 
incisions heal. If discomfort continues beyond two weeks, contact 
your physician.

If you notice excessive redness around the wound areas during this 
time, contact your physician to check for infection and administer 
proper treatment. In rare cases, adverse tissue reaction to implanted 
materials can occur during this period.

Be sure to consult your physician before making lifestyle changes due 
to decreases in pain.

Never attempt to change the orientation or 

“flip” the Stimulator. Do not “finger” or play with the Stimulator. If
