BATTERY PACK AND BATTERY CHARGER

The 

Biomet

®

 SpinalPak

®

 Non-invasive Spine Fusion Stimulator System includes two rechargeable battery packs. 

Upon receipt, it is recommended that the second battery pack be immediately placed into the charger cradle and fully 

charged. In the meantime the first battery pack may be used to begin your treatment.

Note: The first battery pack may not provide a 24-hour treatment initially. It is recommended that the patient keep one 

battery  pack  in  the  battery  charger  cradle  to  assure  that  it  is  fully  charged  and  ready,  and  the  other  inserted  into  the 

Biomet

®

 SpinalPak

®

 Non-invasive Spine Fusion Stimulator System. This will ensure continuous treatment prescribed by 

the prescribing physician. 

The battery charger and cradle are designed to recharge the 

Biomet

®

 SpinalPak

®

 Non-invasive Spine Fusion Stimulator 

System battery packs only. Two LED (light emitting diode) lights monitor and indicate the operational status of the battery 

charger. The A/C Power indicator light is located on the A/C Adaptor. The charging status indicator light is located on the 

charger cradle. The following table lists and describes the operational functions of the LED lights:

Electrodes

There are two types of electrodes that are packaged with the Biomet

®

 SpinalPak

®

 Non-invasive Spine 

Fusion Stimulator System assembly: 72R and LT-4500. The 72R electrodes have green writing on their 

packaging. The LT-4500 electrodes have black writing on their packaging. The 72R electrodes have a 

hydrogel that is stickier than the LT-4500 electrode hydrogel. The patient can use whichever electrodes 

best suit their skin type.

Electrode Covers

The electrode covers are water resistant and are intended to enhance electrode security to the skin, if 

needed, or for showering with the electrodes attached, if desired.

Device Holster

The  device  holster  is  designed  to  securely  hold  the  Biomet

®

  SpinalPak

®

  Non-invasive  Spine  Fusion 

Stimulator System in place. It has a clip on the back which allows the patient to wear the device on 

their waistband or belt.

Lead Wires

Two different length lead wires are included with the Biomet

®

 SpinalPak

®

 Non-invasive Spine Fusion 

Stimulator System. The patient should choose the lead wire that best accommodates their needs for 

where they would like to wear the control unit.
