Handling
Handle the IPG and implanted accessories with care.
• Keep sharp instruments away from the components.
• Do not use the IPG if it has been dropped on a hard sur-
face from a height of more than one foot.
• Do not incinerate an IPG. Improper disposal of the
device could result in an explosion. Devices should be
explanted in the case of cremation, and returned to
Advanced Bionics Corporation.
Storage
• Store the IPG between 0° C and 45° C (32° F and
113° F). Devices should always be kept in temperature
regulated areas within the acceptable temperature range.
IPG damage can occur at temperatures outside of this
range.
