damage your neurostimulation system. Specifically, you
should be aware that medical devices such as
electrohydraulic lithotriptors, therapeutic X
‑
rays,
computerized tomography (CT) scans, cobalt machines,
and linear accelerators may cause damage to the
electronic circuitry of an implanted neurostimulation
system. If using a trial system and radiation therapy is
required, disconnect the trial generator from the leads
or extensions. Damage to the system may not be
immediately detectable.
Diathermy therapy.
You cannot have any short-wave
diathermy, microwave diathermy, or therapeutic
ultrasound diathermy (all now referred to as diathermy)
on your body if you have any part of a neurostimulation
system implanted. Energy from diathermy can be
transferred through the implanted system and can cause
tissue damage at the location of the implanted
electrodes, resulting in severe injury or death.
Diathermy is further prohibited because it may also
damage the neurostimulation system components. This
damage could result in loss of therapy, requiring
additional surgery for system implantation and
replacement. Injury or damage can occur during
diathermy treatment whether the neurostimulation
system is turned on or off. You are advised to inform
your healthcare professional that you cannot be
exposed to diathermy treatment.
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 IPG in Surgery Mode. Your physician
