Intelect® Transport Combo
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
7
Stimulus delivered by the waveforms of this device,
in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25
microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,
therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy
anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy
(shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be
transferred through the implanted neurostimulation
system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in
severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off.”
DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply without
first verifying that the power supply is the correct voltage.

DANGERS
Incorrect voltage may cause unit damage, malfunction,
electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. Your unit was
constructed to operate only on the electrical voltage
specified on the Voltage Rating and Serial Number Plate.
Contact your Chattanooga Group dealer if the unit is not
properly rated.
NiMH Batteries contain Class E corrosive materials. In the
event of battery cell rupture or leakage, handle battery
pack wearing neoprene or natural rubber gloves. Contents
of a ruptured or leaking battery can cause respiratory
irritation. Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic
pulmonary asthma. Contents of cell coming in contact
with skin can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns.
Never, under any circumstances, open the battery pack
housing or cells. Should an individual battery from
a battery pack become disassembled, spontaneous
combustion of the negative electrode is possible. There
can be a delay between exposure to air and spontaneous
combustion.
