Active Implantable or Body Worn Medical Devices
– Safety has not been
established for patients who use the Freedom SCS System with other active
implantable or body worn medical devices. These devices include other
neurostimulation systems, insulin pumps, automated external defibrillators
(AED), cochlear implants, and wearable medical sensors. Malfunction and/or
damage could occur to either system that could result in harm to the patient or
other people nearby.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
– The Stimulator Receiver and Stimulator
Spare Lead are MR Conditional. An MRI examination with the Stimulator
Receiver or Stimulator Spare Lead may be safety performed under certain
conditions. The Trial Lead is MR Unsafe due to the lack of fixation of the device
during the trial period. Refer to the Product Safety Sheet for specific MRI
guidelines.
The WAA Programmer component is MR Unsafe; ensure that the WAA
Programmer does not enter the MR system room.
Since the WAA Programmer
is MR Unsafe, the strong magnetic field of the MR system could attract or
otherwise damage the WAA Programmer, and in the process cause serious
harm to the patient or other people or damage to the MR system.
