diagnosis and treatment of chronic intractable pain and should be familiar with
using the Freedom SCS System. Implanting clinicians should be experienced in

–
The WAA is not waterproof. Keep it dry to avoid damage.
Do not use the WAA when engaging in water activities.
Clean the WAA

Clean the outside of the WAA with a damp cloth when
needed to prevent dust and grime. Mild household cleaners will not damage
the device or labels.

dropping the device onto hard surfaces. Keep the WAA out of the reach of
children and pets.
