Electrosurgery devices. Electrosurgery devices may
harm you or damage your neurostimulation system. If
you need to receive a procedure using an
electrosurgery device, place your generator in Surgery
Mode. Your physician may only use bipolar
electrosurgery devices and they should keep the
device as far away from your neurostimulation system
as possible. Additionally, they must confirm the
neurostimulation system is functioning correctly after
your procedure.
Lead movement. Avoid bending, twisting, stretching,
and lifting objects over 2 kg (5 lb) for at least six
weeks after implantation. These activities may cause
lead movement, resulting in understimulation or
overstimulation. Excessive lead migration may require
reoperation to replace the leads.
Emergency procedures. Designate a representative
(family member or close friend) to notify any
emergency medical personnel of your implanted
neurostimulation system if emergency care is
required. You will receive an identification card to
carry that will inform emergency medical personnel of
your implanted system. Use caution when undergoing
any procedure that could include radiofrequency (RF)
or microwave ablation, defibrillation, or cardioversion.
Pediatric use. Safety and effectiveness of
neurostimulation for pediatric use have not been
established.
