APhysician Trial Kit Model SC-7005-02Trial Stimulator Model SC-5110Remote Control Model SC-5210CAUTION:Federal law restricts this device to sale, distribution and use by or on the order of a physician.The Advanced Bionics® Trial Stimulator is intended to be used during a screening trial to assess the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of patients with chronic pain of the trunk or limbs. The Trial Stimulator communicates with, and is controlled by, both a patient programmer (the Remote Control) and a clinician programmer via a wireless link.The Remote Control unit is a hand-held device for patient control of both the external Trial Stimulator and the permanent, implantable pulse generator (IPG) models of the Precision™ SCS device.Following set up of the Remote Control by the clinician, the Trial Stimulator is able to respond to patient control of:• stimulation on/off functions• stimulation amplitude and other (optional) parameters• stimulation delivery areas• individualized stimulation therapy programs.Patient use instructions are outlined in the Patient Trial Handbook.CAUTION:• To avoid unexpected stimulation results, never make connections while the Trial Stimulator is on.• The battery used in the Trial Stimulator may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mis-treated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100ºC (212ºF), or incinerate.• Handle the devices with care. Although dura-bility testing has been performed to ensure quality manufacturing and performance, drop-ping the devices on hard surfaces or in water, or other destructive handling, can cause per-manent damage.• Avoid all sources of water that can come into contact with the devices.• Do not expose the devices to extreme tempera-tures. Store between 5 – 40 ºC (41 – 104 ºF).• Do not dispose of the devices in fire.Trial StimulatorGeneral Instructions1. Ensure that the Trial Stimulator is equipped with a new 6-volt battery before conducting intraop-erative stimulation testing, and for each new trial. (A battery is included in the Patient Trial Kit.)2. Before connecting the OR Cable for intraopera-tive testing, ensure that the Trial Stimulator is off (no indicator light). Turn the stimulator on for testing, then return it to off before discon-necting the test cables.3. When fitting the patient with the Trial Stimula-tor, ensure that the OR Cables are properly con-nected and labelled. Superior (upper or left) leads connect to socket 1-L. Inferior (lower or right) leads connect to socket 2-R. If only a sin-gle lead is being used, connect it to 1-L.4. Before releasing the patient, ensure that he/she understands:• Basic control of the Trial Stimulator using the Remote Control, and that stimulation may be turned on and off with the E button on either unit.• How to disconnect and reconnect the OR Cable(s) with the power off.• How to replace the Trial Stimulator battery.

Press D to reset the stimulator .Remote ControlBattery InformationThe Remote Control uses three AAA batteries. The device will issue warnings when its batteries are low and when the Trial Stimulator battery needs replacement. Instruct patients to pay close attention to all battery messages.NOTE: The first time it comes on following a battery replacement, the Remote Control will reload information from the implanted or exter-nal stimulator. The remote must be within com-munication range (two feet) of the stimulator during this period.Battery Replacement1.
