Rechargeable Stimulator System; Ipg Battery Status - Boston Scientific Precision Manuel

Rechargeable Stimulator
System
The Precision Stimulator is rechargeable.
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.

Rechargeable Stimulator System

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.
