Physician Implant Manual

If such implanted devices are 

indicated for the patient, careful screening is required to determine if 
safe results can be achieved before permanently implementing con-
current electrical therapies.

Depending on the activity level of the patient, 

postural changes may affect stimulation intensity. Instruct patients to 
keep the Remote Control on hand at all times, and ensure that they 
understand how to adjust stimulation levels.

If the patient is required to undergo 

lithotripsy, electrocautery, external defibrillation, radiation therapy, 
ultrasonic scanning, or high-output ultrasound:

• Turn off stimulation at least five minutes before the procedure or 

application.

• All equipment, including ground plates and paddles, must be 

used as far away from the IPG as possible.

• Bipolar electrocautery is recommended. Do not use monopolar 

electrocautery.

• Every effort should be taken to keep fields, including current, 

radiation, or high-output ultrasonic beams, away from the IPG.

• Equipment should be set to the lowest energy setting clinically 

indicated.

• Instruct patients to confirm IPG functionality following treatment 

by turning on the IPG and gradually increasing stimulation to the 
desired level.

• Before implanting the IPG, inspect the condition of the steriliza-

tion indicator and the sterile package before opening the package 
and using the contents. Do not use the contents if the indicator
