About Your System
This neurostimulation system is designed to deliver
low-intensity electrical impulses to nerve structures.
The neurostimulation system includes the following
primary components:

External pulse generator (EPG) or Implantable
pulse generator (IPG)

Extensions
 Leads
 Patient magnet

Patient controller (a device provided by
Abbott Medical or a compatible personal Apple‡
iOS‡ device)
NOTE: For more information on compatible
devices, see "Appendix A: Downloading the
Patient Controller App" (page 80).
The EPG or IPG delivers electrical pulses through the
leads to electrodes near selected nerve fibers in order
to provide therapeutic stimulation. The patient magnet
can turn the EPG or IPG on and off if the physician
enabled this functionality. Physicians use the clinician
programmer to create and modify a program for a
patient. Patients use the patient controller to control
their prescribed program.
The following image shows how the major system
components are intended to interact.
