Rechargeable Stimulator System; Ipg Battery Status - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Mode D'emploi

Rechargeable Stimulator System

Rechargeable Stimulator System
The Precision Stimulator is rechargeable. Battery life is dependent on your stimulation settings
and conditions. Depending on stimulation power usage and programming, the majority of
patients will need to recharge the Stimulator between once per week and once per month. High
power users will require more frequent charging. Boston Scientific recommends any recharge
routine that fits the patient's schedule and lifestyle while maintaining sufficient charge to
maintain stimulation.
Developing a patient's recharge routine involves finding the right balance among the following:
• How much power is required for the patient to experience effective therapy.
• How often the patient wants to recharge.
• How long the patient wants to recharge.
• How the patient would like to manage their personal schedule.
The Bionic Navigator software will estimate charging time based on 24 hours per day of
stimulation at the programmed settings. Recharge time can range from ten minutes to four
hours. To charge fully, wait until the Charger emits an end of charge beep signal or the Remote
Control displays three battery bars. The recharging process is simple, but important.
The rechargeable Stimulator battery should provide at least five years of service. Over time
and with repeated charging, the battery in the Stimulator will lose its ability to recover its full
capacity. As a result, the Stimulator may need to be recharged more often. The Stimulator may
need replacement when stimulation can no longer be maintained with regular charging.

IPG Battery Status

The patient Remote Control displays the Stimulator battery status when communicating with the
Stimulator. When the Remote Control indicates a low battery (message: Recharge Stimulator
Soon), the Stimulator should be recharged as soon as possible.
