• Theft detectors, tag deactivators and
RFID devices, such as those used at
department stores, libraries, and other
public establishments. The patient should
proceed with caution, ensuring to move
through the center of the detector as
quickly as possible.
• Security screeners, such as those used
in Airport Security or at entrances to
government buildings, including hand-
held scanners. The patient should request
assistance to bypass the device. If the
patient must pass through the security
screener, they should move quickly
through the device staying as far from the
physical device as allowable.
• Power lines or power generators.
• Electric steel furnaces and arc welders.
• Large magnetized stereo speakers.
• Strong magnets.
• Automobiles or other motorized vehicles
using a LoJack system or other anti-theft
systems that can broadcast a radio
frequency (RF) signal. The high energy
fields produced by these systems
may interfere with the operation of the
Remote Control and its ability to control
stimulation.
• Other sources of electromagnetic
disturbance, such as RF transmitters at
television or radio broadcast stations,
Amateur Radio or Citizens Band radio
transceivers, or Family Radio Service
band transceivers.
Note: When in close proximity, equipment
that generates strong electromagnetic
fields might cause unintended
stimulation or interfere with wireless
communication even if they comply
with International Special Committee
on Radio Interference (CISPR)
requirements.
Precautions
Physician training is required.
Medical Devices/Therapies.
The following
medical therapies or procedures may turn
stimulation off or may cause permanent
damage to the Stimulator, particularly if used in
close proximity to the device:
• lithotripsy
• electrocautery: Do not use monopolar
cautery. See “Instructions for the Physician”
page 14
• external defibrillation
• radiation therapy
• ultrasonic scanning
• high-output ultrasound
If any of the above is required by medical
necessity, refer to “Instructions for the
Physician” page 14. Ultimately, however, the
device may require explantation as a result of
damage to the device.
Automobiles and Other Equipment.
Patients should not operate automobiles, other
motorized vehicles, or potentially dangerous
machinery/ equipment with therapeutic
stimulation switched on. Stimulation must be
turned off first. Sudden stimulation changes, if
they occur, may distract patients from attentive
operation of the vehicle or equipment.
Post Operative. During the two weeks
following surgery, it is important to use extreme
care so that appropriate healing will secure the
