If you suspect that an electric or magnetic device is interfering
with your neurostimulator, move away from the device or, if
possible, turn the device off. Then use the patient programmer to
turn your neurostimulator on or off.

Warning
Use care when approaching security arches or gates (such as those found in
airports, libraries, and some department stores) as these devices can cause
inappropriate or additional stimulation if you pass through them. Similarly,
avoid airport security wands.
When approaching security arches or gates, do the following:
1. Show your patient identification card to security staff. Ask that you be
allowed to bypass the security device, request a hand search, or ask that
the security device be turned off.
2. If passing through the security device is unavoidable, turn the
neurostimulator off.
3. Reduce the amplitude to the lowest setting.
