Instructions for the Physician

Implanted Stimulation Devices. If such implanted devices are indicated for the patient, careful
screening is required to determine if safe results can be achieved before permanently implementing
concurrent electrical therapies.
Postural Changes. 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.
Medical Devices/Therapies. 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.
