System Precautions
Medical tests and procedures. Before undergoing
medical tests or procedures (such as therapeutic
radiation or electrolysis), contact your physician to
determine if the procedure will cause you injury or
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.
Component manipulation. Do not rub or press on
implanted components through the skin. This may
cause the leads to move leading to stimulation at the
implant site, IPG inversion leading to the inability to
communicate with the device, or skin erosion that can
lead to another surgical procedure or possible
infection.
High stimulation outputs. Stimulation at high outputs
may cause unpleasant sensations or motor
disturbances, or render you incapable of controlling
the stimulator. If unpleasant sensations occur, turn off
the device immediately.
