Package Contents
In addition to the product documentation, the IPG kit contains the following items:
1 IPG (see the appendix in this manual for model numbers)
1 pocket sizer
1 torque wrench (Model 1101)
2 port plugs (Model 1111)
Identifying the IPG
Before implanting the IPG, you can view the model number engraved on the IPG. After
implantation, you can identify the IPG using a radiopaque identification tag that you can view with
standard X-ray procedures. The tag, which is located in the lower left corner of the IPG when the
logo side of the IPG is facing toward you, contains a code in the following format: SJM
LN
. ‘SJM’
designates Abbott Medical as the manufacturer;
‘LN’
is a letter and a number combination that
identifies the model family (see the following figure).
For the Proclaim™ IPG, the code is SJM A1. To determine the exact model IPG that is implanted,
use the clinician programmer app to communicate with the IPG and view IPG information. See the
clinician’s manual for the clinician programmer for instructions.

Directions for Use
Read this section carefully for suggested directions for use related to the IPG. For directions for
use for other system components not covered in this document, see the clinician’s manual for the
appropriate device.
NOTE: Before the surgical procedure, set up communication between the clinician
programmer and the IPG while the IPG is in its sterile packaging to ensure that it is
functional. If the IPG has never established communication with a programmer, you must
first activate the IPG for communication ("wake up" the IPG) by holding a magnet over the
IPG for 10 seconds.
Creating an IPG Pocket
The following steps outline the suggested procedure to create an IPG pocket:
1.
Determine the site for the IPG, ensuring that the lead is long enough to reach the pocket and
provide a strain relief loop.
