Rechargable Implant System
The Precision spinal cord stimulator is rechargeable. Depending on
stimulation power usage and programming, the majority of patients
will need to recharge the implant once per week. High power users
will require more frequent charging.
The clinician programmer will estimate charging time based on 24
hours per day of stimulation at the programmed settings. Patients
should be instructed to charge until the charger emits an end of charge
beep signal.
Estimated charge times for 1-4 stimulation areas set to stimulate at 40
pulses-per-second and 210 µs per area:
