Patient Information
Patient ID card A patient ID card is included in delivery.
• Provide the patient with the patient ID.
• Request that patients contact the physician in case of uncertainties.
Prohibitory signs Places with prohibitory signs must be avoided.
• Draw the patient's attention to prohibitory signs.
Possible sources of inter-
ference
Electromagnetic interference should be avoided in daily activities. Sources of
interference should not be brought into close proximity with the device.
• Draw the patient's attention to special household appliances, security check-
points, anti-theft alarm systems, strong electromagnetic fields, cell phones,
and transmitters among other things.
• Request patients to do the following:
— Use cell phones on the side of their body that is opposite of the device.
— Keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the device both during use
and when stowing.
