Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this
•
device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution . Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia .
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
•
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,
therapeutic ultrasound diathermy or laser diathermy
anywhere on their body . Energy from diathermy
(shortwave, microwave, ultrasound and laser) can be
transferred through the implanted neurostimulation
system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in
severe injury or death . Injury, damage or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off .”
Handle, clean and dispose of components and accessories
•
that have come in contact with bodily fluids according
to National, Local and Facility rules, regulations and
procedures .
NiMH Batteries contain Class E Corrosive materials . In the
•
event of battery cell rupture or leakage, handle Battery
Module wearing neoprene or natural rubber gloves . Contents
of a ruptured or leaking battery can cause respiratory
irritation . Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic
pulmonary asthma . Contents of cell coming in contact with
skin can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns .
Never, under any circumstances, open the Battery Module
•
housing or cells . Should an individual cell from a battery
become disassembled, spontaneous combustion of the
negative electrode is possible . There can be a delay between
exposure to air and spontaneous combustion .
Charge the Battery Module according to the instructions
•
found in this manual . Never attempt to charge the Battery
Module on any other charging mechanism .
Use the Battery Module only with the Vectra Genisys Therapy
•
Systems .
Do not reverse the polarity of the Battery Module . Doing so
•
can increase the individual cell temperature and cause cell
rupture or leakage .
Never dispose of Battery Module in fire . Never short circuit
•
the battery . The battery may explode, ignite, leak or get hot
causing serious personal injury .
Dispose of NiMH batteries according to national, state and
•
local codes and regulations .
