Precautions
EMI from the following equipment is unlikely
to affect your neurostimulation system if the
guidelines below are followed:
Bone growth stimulators – The coils of an
external magnetic field bone growth
stimulator should be kept 45 cm (18 in) away
from the neurostimulation system. When a
bone growth stimulator is used, your doctor
should ensure that both the bone growth
stimulator and neurostimulator are working
as intended.
Dental drills and ultrasonic probes – The
neurostimulator should be turned OFF and
the drill or probe should be kept at least
15 cm (6 in) away from the neurostimulator.
Electrolysis – The neurostimulator should
be turned OFF, and the electrolysis wand
should be kept at least 15 cm (6 in) away
from the neurostimulator.
