Hospital and Medical Environments
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.
Electrical medical treatment. In the case that a
medical treatment is administered where an electrical
current is passed through the body from an external
source, first deactivate the IPG by setting all
electrodes to off, turning stimulation off, and setting
the stimulation strength to zero. Regardless if the
device is deactivated, take care to monitor the device
for proper function during and after treatment.
High-output ultrasonics and lithotripsy. The use of
high-output devices, such as an electrohydraulic
lithotriptor, may cause damage to the electronic
circuitry of an implanted device. If lithotripsy must be
used, do not focus the energy near the device.
