Introduction
Manual Overview
This manual provides basic information for the implantation and
operation of the Precision
Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG),
SC Model 1100. This information includes an overview of accessories
for programming and powering the IPG, clinical and surgical consid-
erations, storage and handling requirements, and relevant precautions
concerning an implanted neurostimulator. Additional information on
system components and operation can be found in the Precision Phy-
sician Systems Handbook.
Device Description
The Advanced Bionics
®
Precision implantable pulse generator system
is intended to treat chronic pain by electrically stimulating the spinal
cord. The multi-channel, multi-electrode device capability provides
flexibility in conjunction with ease of programming. A rechargeable
battery increases IPG longevity and output capability while reducing
size and device replacement surgeries. The implant is controlled by a
handheld Remote Control, and can be engaged by a clinician com-
puter using proprietary BionicNavigator
software. Periodically, the
implant battery requires replenishing with an RF charging device pro-
vided in the Patient Take Home Kit SC-6000.
