To minimize or prevent device damage or interactions, your doctors should place the devices on the opposite side of the body from one another. • Defibrillation therapy from an implanted defibrillator can damage the neurostimulator. • The electrical pulses from the neurostimulation system could affect with the sensing operation from the cardiac device and result in inappropriate responses from the cardiac device.Your English M948515A001 97745 2013-04 Rev X 2013-04 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 doctor should program your neurostimulator to a bipolar configuration and a minimum rate of 60 Hz. The cardiac device should be programmed to bipolar sensing. Precautions Battery charge level—Check battery status and charge the battery regularly. Battery capacity will continue to slowly drain, even when the neurostimulator is off. If the battery becomes completely discharged, therapy will be lost. Clinician programmer interaction with a cochlear implant—If you have a cochlear implant, the external portion of the cochlear system should be kept as far away as possible from the clinician programmer or the cochlear implant should be turned off during programming to prevent unintended audible clicks. 97745 M948515A001 Rev X 2013-04 2013-04 English Important therapy information 2 System and therapy 43 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 Component compatibility—For proper therapy, use only Medtronic Neuromodulation components that are prescribed by your physician. Important therapy information 2 Equipment modification—Do not modify this equipment. Modification of this equipment can result in damage to the device, causing the device to malfunction or become unusable. 44 Patient control devices may affect other implanted devices—Do not place patient control devices (eg, patient programmer, controller, recharger) over another device (eg, pacemaker, defribrillator, another neurostimulator). The patient control device could accidently change the operation of another device. Patient device handling—To avoid damaging the device, do not immerse it in liquid; do not clean it with bleach, nail polish remover, mineral oil, or similar substances; and do not drop it or mishandle it in a way that may damage it.

To verify that inadvertent programming did not occur, clinicians familiar with each device should check the programmed settings before you are sent home from the hospital and after either device is programmed (or as soon as possible after these times). 97745 M948515A001 Rev X 2013-04 2013-04 English Important therapy information 2 Patient device use—When operating a patient control device (eg, external neurostimulator, patient programmer, controller, recharging system), use special care near flammable or explosive atmospheres. An interaction between the flammable or explosive atmospheres and the battery in the device could occur. The consequences of using a battery-powered device near flammable or explosive atmospheres are unknown. 45 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 Contact your doctor immediately if you notice symptoms that could be related to either device or to the medical condition treated by either device. Important therapy information 2 Patient activities 46 Activities requiring excessive twisting or stretching—Avoid activities that may put undue stress on the implanted components of your neurostimulation system. Activities that include sudden, excessive, or repetitive bending, twisting, bouncing, or stretching can cause parts of your neurostimulation system to fracture or migrate. This can result in loss of stimulation, intermittent stimulation, stimulation at the fracture site, and additional surgery. Spinal cord stimulation patients, in particular, should avoid excessive bending of the torso. Component manipulation (twiddler’s syndrome)—Do not manipulate or rub your neurostimulation system through the skin; this is sometimes called “twiddler's syndrome.” Manipulation can cause damage to your English M948515A001 97745 2013-04 Rev X 2013-04 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 system, lead dislodgement, skin erosion, or stimulation at the implant site. Skydiving, skiing, or hiking in the mountains—High altitudes should not affect the neurostimulator; however, you should consider the movements involved in any planned activity and take precaution to not put undue stress on your implanted system. During skydiving, the sudden jerking that occurs when the parachute opens can dislodge or fracture the lead, requiring additional surgery to repair or replace the lead. Unexpected changes in stimulation— Electromagnetic interference, changes in 97745 M948515A001 Rev X 2013-04 2013-04 English Important therapy information 2 Scuba diving or hyperbaric chambers—Do not dive below 10 meters (33 feet) of water or enter hyperbaric chambers above 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA). Pressures below 10 meters (33 feet) of water (or above 2.0 ATA) can damage the neurostimulation system. Before diving or using a hyperbaric chamber, discuss the effects of high pressure with your doctor. 47 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 posture, and other activities can cause a perceived increase in stimulation, which some patients have described as uncomfortable stimulation (a jolting or shocking sensation). You should reduce your intensity to the lowest setting and turn off your neurostimulator before engaging in activities that could be unsafe for you or others if you received an unexpected jolt or shock (eg, driving, operating power tools). Discuss these activities with your doctor. Important therapy information 2 Individualization of Treatment 48 Patient management—Best results are achieved when you are fully informed about the therapy risks and benefits, surgical procedure, follow-up requirements, and selfcare responsibilities. Maximum benefits from the neurostimulation system require long-term postsurgical management. Patient selection—The neurostimulation system should not be implanted if: • your symptoms are not of physiological origin, English M948515A001 97745 2013-04 Rev X 2013-04 Filename Date Time UC200xxxxxx EN 4.625″ x 6.0″ inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential PPManual.xsl - PatientProgrammerTemplate.fm Version: 05-01-2012 • you are not an appropriate candidate for surgery, • you cannot properly operate the system, or • you do not receive satisfactory results from test stimulation.
