All information and instructions that are available to the patient are included in the Model 3537Controller Patient Test Stimulation Programming Guide and the InterStim Patient TherapyGuide.Instructions for use#Caution: The device is not certified for use in the presence of a flammable anestheticmixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. The consequences of using the devicenear flammable atmospheres are unknown.#Caution: Do not modify this equipment. Modification of this equipment can result indamage to the device, causing the device to malfunction or become unusable.#Caution: Do not use the device in the proximity of equipment that generateselectromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI may cause a disruption in device function.Examples of common medical sources of EMI are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) andlithotripsy. Powerful computer monitors, cell phones, x-ray equipment, and othermonitoring equipment may also generate EMI.Setting up the controllerAfter inserting batteries into the controller, a splash screen will appear, followed by a series ofsteps to set up the controller.Note: After completing these setup instructions, you can change the settings at any timeusing the Menu.1.

Pairing the controller to the external neurostimulatorTo ensure correct pairing between the controller and the external neurostimulator, consider thefollowing recommendations:▪Ensure that the controller that you provide to the patient is paired with the patient's externalneurostimulator.▪Ask the patient to bring his or her controller to all follow-up appointments. Use this samecontroller during any clinician programming. This will help to avoid pairing the externalneurostimulator with multiple controllers.▪If the external neurostimulator is paired with a new controller, the connection to the previouscontroller will need to be re-established before the previous controller can be used with theexternal neurostimulator again.Pairing a new controller to an external neurostimulatorNote: Ensure you have the external neurostimulator serial number available. You will need toconfirm this information during the pairing procedure. The serial number is located on the backof the external neurostimulator.1. Press and hold the ENS button for one second to place the external neurostimulator intodiscovery mode (Figure 7). The light on the external neurostimulator will repeatedly blinkfor 90 seconds, or until the external neurostimulator has paired with a controller.Light-emitting diode (LED) ENS buttonOutput jackFigure 7.
