• Large magnetized stereo speakers.
As you approach these devices you may become aware of changing stimulation levels. In rare
instances, you could experience an increase in stimulation level to the point that the sensation is
uncomfortably strong or possibly “jolting.” If this happens, turn off the External Trial Stimulator. If
the stimulator suddenly turns off by itself, first move away from the area. Next, check the
stimulation status with the Remote Control by pressing the power button and observing the screen.
Always be aware of your surroundings, particularly near theft detectors/security screeners. Ask for
assistance to go around these devices if you feel at all uncomfortable.
Precautions
MRI. You mu st not be exposed to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Exposure to this diagnostic
technology may result in dislodgement of your lead(s) and/or increased voltage through the leads
which can cause an uncomfortable or “jolting” sensation.
Medical Devices/Therapies. The following medical therapies or procedures may turn stimulation
off or may cause permanent damage to the Trial Stimulator, particularly if used in close proximity to
the device:
• lithotripsy
• electrocautery
