well as some tag deactivation devices, such as those
used at payment counters at stores and loan desks at
libraries, may also affect stimulation. Patients who are
implanted with nonadjacent multiple leads and
patients who are sensitive to low stimulation
thresholds may experience a momentary increase in
their perceived stimulation, which some patients have
described as uncomfortable or jolting. Use caution
when approaching such a device and request
assistance to bypass the device. If you must proceed
through a gate or doorway containing this type of
device, turn off stimulation and proceed with caution,
being sure to move through the device quickly.
Scuba diving or hyperbaric chambers. Avoid scuba
diving below 30 m (100 ft) of water or entering
hyperbaric chambers above 4.0 atmospheres
absolute (ATA). Pressures below 30 m (100 ft) of
water (or above 4.0 ATA) could damage your
neurostimulation system. Before diving or using a
hyperbaric chamber, contact your physician to
discuss the effects of high pressure.
Physician instructions. Always follow the programs
and therapy instructions established for you by your
physician. If you do not, the therapy may be less
effective in providing pain relief.
Patient training. Do not use your neurostimulation
system until an authorized clinician has trained you
how to control stimulation and safely use the system.
