Limited Warranty ‑ IPGs

Rechargeable Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG)

Boston Scientific Corporation warrants to the patient who receives an implantable rechargeable pulse
generator (referred to as the Rechargeable IPG) that the Rechargeable IPG will be free from defects
in workmanship and materials for a period of five (5) years from the date of surgical implant of the
Rechargeable IPG. This warranty applies only to the patient who has the Rechargeable IPG implanted
and no other person or entity. This warranty does not apply to the Leads, Extensions, or surgical
accessories used with the Rechargeable IPG.
A Rechargeable IPG that fails to function within normal ranges within five (5) years after the date
it is implanted is covered under this Limited Warranty. The liability of Boston Scientific under this
warranty shall be limited to: (a) replacement of the Rechargeable IPG with a functionally equivalent
Rechargeable IPG made by Boston Scientific; or (b) credit applied towards the purchase of a new IPG.
The warranty amount is calculated using least expensive device price (original vs. replacement). No
other relief whatsoever is available under this limited warranty. This limited warranty for a replacement
Rechargeable IPG will last only for five (5) years from the date of surgical implant of the original
Rechargeable IPG.
Note: Battery life of a Rechargeable IPG may vary due to a variety of factors. Therefore, this
warranty shall not extend to battery depletion of a Rechargeable IPG unless such depletion is
caused by a defect in workmanship or material.
Claims under this limited warranty are subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:
1. The Product Registration Form/Implant Card must be completed and returned to Boston Scientific
within 30 days of surgery.
2. The Rechargeable IPG must be implanted before the "Use By" date.
3. Failure of the Rechargeable IPG must be confirmed by Boston Scientific.
4. The Rechargeable IPG must be returned to Boston Scientific (or a Boston Scientific authorized
agent) within 30 days after it fails to function within normal ranges. That Rechargeable IPG will be the
property of Boston Scientific.
5. The limited warranty does not include failures to function within normal ranges caused by:
(a). Fire, floods, lightning, natural disasters, water damage, and other calamities commonly defined
as "Acts of God";
(b). Accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, or the customer's failure to operate the Rechargeable IPG
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions;
(c). Unauthorized attempts to repair, maintain, or modify the Rechargeable IPG for the patient or any
unauthorized third party; or
(d). Attaching equipment to the Rechargeable IPG that is not supplied or expressly authorized by
Boston Scientific.
This limited warranty is the only warranty that applies to the Rechargeable IPG, and Boston Scientific
expressly disclaims any other warranty, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose. Under this limited warranty, Boston Scientific will be responsible only for
replacement of the Rechargeable IPG with a functionally equivalent Rechargeable IPG made by Boston
Scientific and will not be liable for any damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential,or incidental)
caused by the Rechargeable IPG, whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort or any other
theory.
Boston Scientific assumes no liability with respect to instruments reused, reprocessed or resterilized
and makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, with respect to such instruments.
