CAUTION:
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 Stimulator
General Instructions
1. 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.
(See illustration below)
NOTE: Immediately following a Trial Stimulator
battery replacement, the linked Remote Control
will display an error/reset message. Press D to
reset the stimulator .
Remote Control
Battery Information
The 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 Replacement
1. On the rear of the remote, push in slightly and
slide the battery compartment cover down.
2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Place the new batteries in the slots by matching
the positive (+) and negative (-) battery ends
with the + / - markings in the compartment.
4. Align the cover on the case and slide the cover
into position util it snaps closed.
