Electromagnetic  interference  (EMI)

 

  EMI  is  a  field  of  energy  generated  by 

equipment found in the home, work, medical or public environments. EMI that 
is  very  strong  can  interfere  with  System.  The  device  includes  features  that 
provide protection from EMI.  Most electrical device and magnets encountered 
in a normal day will not affect the operation of the System.  However, strong 
sources of EMI could result in the following: 

 

Serious patient injury resulting from heating of the implanted device 
and damage to surrounding tissue. 

 

System damage, resulting in a loss of, or change in, symptom control 
and requiring additional surgery. 

 

Operational  changes  to  the  WAA.  This  may  cause  either  external 

device to turn on, turn off, or to reset to factory settings. If this occurs, 
the WAA need to be reprogrammed. 

 

Unexpected changes in stimulation, causing a momentary increase in 
stimulation or intermittent stimulation. Some patients have described 
as a jolting or shocking sensation.  Although the unexpected change in 
stimulation could feel uncomfortable, it does not damage  the device 

or  cause  a  patient  direct  injury.  In  rare  cases,  as  a  result  of  the 
unexpected  changes  in  stimulation,  patients  have  fallen  down  and 
been injured.  

If you suspect that your Freedom SCS System is being affected by EMI then you 
should: 

 

Immediately move away from the equipment or object. 

 

Remove the WAA from the vicinity. 

Machinery or heavy equipment

 

 Machinery and heavy equipment (including 

vehicles)  should  not  be  operated  while  using  the  Freedom  SCS  System. 
Malfunction of the System could result in loss of body control, body function, 
or a feeling that could render the patient incapable of controlling the system. 

Stimulator fracture

 

 If the Stimulator insulation is ruptured or pierced due to 

extensive forces, unexpected changes in stimulation could result. 

Electromagnetic 

equipment/environments

 

 

Avoidance 

of 

high 

electromagnetic  equipment  radiators  or  environments  is  highly  encouraged.  
Examples of equipment and/or environments include the following: 

 

High-power amateur transmitters/antennas or citizen band (CB) radio 
or Ham radio used for private recreation, communication, and wireless 

experimentation.
