System Description

The Precision System includes both implanted and external components. During your surgery, one or more wires called leads were
placed along your spinal cord or peripheral nerves where pain signals to the brain can be intercepted. The lead was then attached
to an implantable pulse generator (IPG or Stimulator), also referred to as an implant, or Stimulator. The Stimulator is commonly
placed in the abdomen, upper buttock, or subclavicular area. The Stimulator sends a small electrical current to a series of stimulating
contacts, or electrodes, at the end of the lead. The battery-powered Stimulator is controlled by a hand-held programmer or Remote
Control, and is periodically recharged using a separate Charging System.
The Remote Control, the heart of the Precision System, is a powerful yet easy to use tool for managing every aspect of your pain
treatment—from controlling the level, or strength, of stimulation to accessing special treatment programs and program options.
To make the most of your Precision System, it is important to learn:
1. what to be aware of for safety,
2. how to use the Remote Control, and
3. how to recharge the Stimulator.
These subjects are covered on the following pages, and we encourage you to read this manual entirely. If you have any questions, or
need clarification of anything contained in this manual, feel free to contact your healthcare professional.
