Warnings
Heat Due to Charging.
Do not charge while sleeping. This may
result in a burn.While charging, the Charger may become warm. It
should be handled with care. Failure to use the Charger with either the
Charging Belt or an adhesive patch, as shown, may result in a burn. If
Charging Belt or an adhesive patch, as shown, may result in a burn. If
you experience pain or discomfort, cease charging and contact
Advanced Bionics.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Patients implanted with the
Precision SCS system should not be subjected to MRI. MRI exposure
may result in dislodgement of implanted components, heating of the
neurostimulator, damage to the device electronics and/or voltage
induction through the leads and Stimulator causing an uncomfortable
or “jolting” sensation.

Pediatric Use.
The safety and effectiveness of spinal cord stimula-
tion has not been established for pediatric use.
Diathermy.
Shortwave, microwave and/or therapeutic ultrasound
diathermy should not be used on SCS patients. The energy generated
by diathermy can be transferred through the Stimulator system, caus-
ing tissue damage at the lead site and resulting in severe injury or
death. The IPG, whether it is turned on or off, may be damaged.

Implanted Stimulation Devices.
Spinal cord stimulators may
interfere with the operation of implanted sensing stimulators such as
pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators. The effects of implanted
stimulation devices on neurostimulators is unknown.

Stimulator Damage.
Burns may result if the pulse generator case is
ruptured or pierced and patient tissue is exposed to battery chemicals.
Do not implant the device if the case is damaged.
