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. Refer to Postural Changes in the

Instructions for Patients section of this manual, page 7, for additional information.

Medical Devices/Therapies. If the patient is required to undergo lithotripsy, electrocautery,

external deﬁ brillation, radiation therapy, ultrasonic scanning, or high-output ultrasound:

• Turn off stimulation at least ﬁ ve minutes before the procedure or application.

• All equipment, including ground plates and paddles, must

be used as far away from the IPG as possible.

• Every effort should be taken to keep ﬁ elds, 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 conﬁ rm IPG functionality following treatment by turning

on the IPG and gradually increasing stimulation to the desired level.
