Prescription and Safety Information
Read this section to gather important prescription and safety information.
Intended Use
This neurostimulation system is designed to deliver low-intensity electrical impulses to nerve
structures. The system is intended to be used with leads and associated extensions that are
compatible with the system.
Indications for Use
This neurostimulation system is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic, intractable
pain of the trunk and/or limbs, including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with the following:
failed back surgery syndrome and intractable low back and leg pain.
Contraindications
This system is contraindicated for patients who are unable to operate the system or who have
failed to receive effective pain relief during trial stimulation.
Warnings
The following warnings apply to these components.
Poor surgical risks. Neurostimulation should not be used on patients who are poor surgical risks
or patients with multiple illnesses or active general infections.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with an implanted neurostimulation system should
not be subjected to MRI because the electromagnetic field generated by an MRI may damage the
device electronics and induce voltage through the lead that could jolt or shock the patient.
Diathermy therapy. Do not use short-wave diathermy, microwave diathermy, or therapeutic
ultrasound diathermy (all now referred to as diathermy) on patients implanted with a
neurostimulation system. Energy from diathermy can be transferred through the implanted system
and cause tissue damage at the location of the implanted electrodes, resulting in severe injury or
death.
Diathermy is further prohibited because it may also damage the neurostimulation system
components. This damage could result in loss of therapy, requiring additional surgery for system
implantation and replacement. Injury or damage can occur during diathermy treatment whether
the neurostimulation system is turned on or off.
Electrosurgery devices. Electrosurgery devices should not be used in close proximity to an
implanted neurostimulation system. Contact between an active electrode and an implanted IPG,
lead, or extension can cause severe injury to the patient. If use of electrocautery is necessary, first
turn off the neurostimulation system.
Implanted cardiac systems. Physicians need to be aware of the risk and possible interaction
between a neurostimulation system and an implanted cardiac system, such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator. Electrical pulses from a neurostimulation system may interact with the sensing
operation of an implanted cardiac system, causing the cardiac system to respond inappropriately.
To minimize or prevent the implanted cardiac system from sensing the output of the
neurostimulation system, (1) maximize the distance between the implanted systems; (2) verify
that the neurostimulation system is not interfering with the functions of the implanted cardiac
system; and (3) avoid programming either device in a unipolar mode (using the device’s can as
an anode) or using neurostimulation system settings that interfere with the function of the
implantable cardiac system.
2
Pediatric use. Safety and effectiveness of neurostimulation for pediatric use have not been
established.
Pregnancy and nursing. Safety and effectiveness of neurostimulation for use during pregnancy
and nursing have not been established.
Device components. The use of non-St. Jude Medical components with this system may result in
damage to the system and increased risk to the patient.
Case damage. Do not handle the IPG if the case is pierced or ruptured because severe burns
could result from exposure to battery chemicals.
IPG disposal. Return all explanted IPGs to St. Jude Medical for safe disposal. IPGs contain
batteries as well as other potentially hazardous materials. Do not crush, puncture, or burn the IPG
because explosion or fire may result.
Precautions
The following precautions apply to these components.
General Precautions
Clinician training. Implanting physicians should be experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of
chronic pain syndromes and have undergone surgical and device implantation training.
Patient selection. It is extremely important to select patients appropriately for neurostimulation.
Thorough psychiatric screening should be performed. Patients should not be dependent on drugs
and should be able to operate the neurostimulation system.
Infection. Follow proper infection control procedures. Infections related to system implantation
might require that the device be explanted.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI). Some equipment in home, work, medical, and public
environments can generate EMI that is strong enough to interfere with the operation of a
neurostimulation system. Patients should avoid getting too close to these types of EMI sources,
which include the following examples: commercial electrical equipment (such as arc welders and
induction furnaces), communication equipment (such as microwave transmitters and high-power
amateur transmitters), high-voltage power lines, and some medical procedures (such as
therapeutic radiation and electromagnetic lithotripsy).
Theft detectors and metal screening devices. Certain types of antitheft devices, such as those
used at entrances or exits of department stores, libraries, and other public establishments, and
airport security screening devices may affect stimulation. Patients who are implanted with
nonadjacent multiple leads and patients who are sensitive to low stimulation thresholds may
experience a momentary increase in their perceived stimulation, which has been described by
some patients as uncomfortable or jolting. Patients should use caution when approaching such a
device and should request assistance to bypass the device. If they must proceed through the
device, patients should turn off the IPG and proceed with caution, being sure to move through the
detector quickly.
Mobile phones. The effect of mobile phones on neurostimulation systems is unknown; patients
should avoid placing mobile phones directly over the system.
Sterilization and Storage
Single-use, sterile device. The implanted components of this neurostimulation system are
intended for a single use only. Sterile components in this kit have been sterilized using ethylene
oxide (EtO) gas before shipment and are supplied in sterile packaging to permit direct introduction
into the sterile field. Do not resterilize or reimplant an explanted system for any reason.
Storage environment. Store components and their packaging where they will not come in contact
3
with liquids of any kind.
Handling and Implementation
Expiration date. An expiration date (or “use-before” date) is printed on the packaging. Do not use
the system if the use-before date has expired.
Care and handling of components. Use extreme care when handling system components prior to
implantation. Excessive heat, excessive traction, excessive bending, excessive twisting, or the use
of sharp instruments may damage and cause failure of the components.
Package or component damage. Do not implant a device if the sterile package or components
show signs of damage, if the sterile seal is ruptured, or if contamination is suspected for any
reason. Return any suspect components to St. Jude Medical for evaluation.
System testing. To ensure correct operation, the system should always be tested after
implantation and before the patient leaves the surgery suite.
Device modification. The equipment is not serviceable by the customer. To prevent injury or
damage to the system, do not modify the equipment. If needed, return the equipment to St. Jude
Medical for service.
Hospital and Medical Environments
High-output ultrasonics and lithotripsy. The use of high-output devices, such as an
electrohydraulic lithotriptor, may cause damage to the electronic circuitry of an implanted IPG. If
lithotripsy must be used, do not focus the energy near the IPG.
Ultrasonic scanning equipment. The use of ultrasonic scanning equipment may cause
mechanical damage to an implanted neurostimulation system if used directly over the implanted
system.
External defibrillators. The safety of discharge of an external defibrillator on patients with
implanted neurostimulation systems has not been established.
Therapeutic radiation. Therapeutic radiation may damage the electronic circuitry of an implanted
neurostimulation system, although no testing has been done and no definite information on
radiation effects is available. Sources of therapeutic radiation include therapeutic X rays, cobalt
machines, and linear accelerators. If radiation therapy is required, the area over the implanted
IPG should be shielded with lead. Damage to the system may not be immediately detectable.
Adverse Effects
In addition to those risks commonly associated with surgery, the following risks are associated
with implanting or using this IPG:
Unpleasant sensations or motor disturbances, including involuntary movement, caused by
stimulation at high outputs (If either occurs, turn off your IPG immediately.)
Stimulation in unwanted places
Paralysis, weakness, clumsiness, numbness, or pain below the level of the implant
Persistent pain at the IPG site
Seroma (mass or swelling) at the IPG site
Allergic or rejection response to implant materials
Implant migration or skin erosion around the implant
Battery failure
Product Description
This implantable pulse generator (IPG) is an electronic device designed to be connected to one or
4
more extensions or leads with up to 16 electrodes total. It is powered by a hermetically sealed
battery within a titanium case and uses microelectronic circuitry to generate constant-current
electrical stimulation. The IPG can deliver stimulation with a single program or with multiple
programs. Each program can provide stimulation to a single anatomical area or to multiple areas.
The IPG communicates wirelessly with system programmers and controllers, and IPGs are
available in small and large sizes to accommodate different power needs. Some models can
receive software upgrades after implantation to provide patients with additional features as
approved by the respective regulatory agencies. To upgrade features on the IPG, a system
programmer is needed.
For more information about IPG features and specifications, see the appropriate appendix in this
manual.
NOTE: For more information about the neurostimulation system, see the clinician’s
programming manual for this system.
NOTE: In this document, the term "clinician programmer" refers to the St. Jude
Medical™ Clinician Programmer device, "patient controller" refers to the St. Jude
Medical Patient Controller device, "clinician programmer app" refers to the St. Jude
Medical Clinician Programmer software application (app), and "patient controller app"
refers to the St. Jude Medical Patient Controller app.
Package Contents
In addition to the product documentation, the IPG kit contains the following items:
1 IPG (see the appendix in this manual for model numbers)
1 pocket sizer
1 torque wrench (Model 1101)
2 port plugs (Model 1111)
Identifying the IPG
Before implanting the IPG, you can view the model number engraved on the IPG. After
implantation, you can identify the IPG using a radiopaque identification tag that you can view with
standard X-ray procedures. The tag, which is located in the lower left corner of the IPG when the
logo side of the IPG is facing toward you, contains a code in the following format: SJMLN. SJM
designates St. Jude Medical as the manufacturer; LN is a letter and a number combination that
identifies the model family (see the following figure).
For the Proclaim™ IPG, the code is SJM A1. To determine the exact model IPG that is implanted,
use the clinician programmer app to communicate with the IPG and view IPG information. See the
clinician’s manual for the clinician programmer for instructions.
Figure 1. Location of the IPG code on a small IPG (left) and large IPG (right)

Directions for Use
Read this section carefully for suggested directions for use related to the IPG. For directions for
use for other system components not covered in this document, see the clinician’s manual for the
appropriate device.
NOTE: Before the surgical procedure, set up communication between the clinician
programmer and the IPG while the IPG is in its sterile packaging to ensure that it is
functional. If the IPG has never established communication with a programmer, you
must first activate the IPG for communication ("wake up" the IPG) by holding a magnet
over the IPG for 8 seconds.
Creating an IPG Pocket
The following steps outline the suggested procedure to create an IPG pocket:
1. Determine the site for the IPG, ensuring that the lead is long enough to reach the pocket and
provide a strain relief loop.
NOTE: The IPG should be located in an area that the patient can easily reach with the
programming wand. Common sites for implantation are: along the midaxillary line, in
the upper buttock along the posterior axillary line (taking care to avoid the belt line),
and in the area over the abdomen just below the lowermost rib. To ensure a flat area is
selected, you can mark a flat area prior to the surgical procedure while the patient is in
a sitting position.
CAUTION: Do not place the IPG deeper than 4.0 cm (1.57 in) because the
clinician programmer may not communicate efficiently with the IPG.
2. Create the pocket so that the IPG is parallel to the skin surface and no deeper than 4.0 cm
(1.57 in) below the skin surface.
3. Insert and remove the pocket sizer to ensure that the pocket is large enough to
accommodate the IPG, allowing enough extra room for a strain relief loop for each lead or
extension.
Connecting a Lead or Extension to the IPG
The following steps outline the suggested guidelines to connect a lead or extension to the IPG:
CAUTION: Do not connect a lead or extension with body fluid or saline residue on
its contacts because corrosion can occur and cause failure of the system.
1. If any of the lead or extension contacts came in contact with body fluid or saline, thoroughly
clean the contacts with sterile deionized water or sterile water for irrigation and dry them
completely.
CAUTION: Observe these cautions when performing the following step:
Do not bend the lead sharply or it may be damaged.
Do not loosen the setscrew in the connector more than a quarter turn at a time
while trying to insert the lead. Retracting the setscrew too far can cause the
setscrew to come loose and make the connector assembly unusable.
2. Using clean gloves, carefully slide the proximal end of the lead or extension into the IPG
header until it stops. When the lead or extension is correctly inserted, the contact bands on
the lead or extension are fully inside the connector assembly and the windows between each
of the header contacts are clear.

2. Not fully inserted
3. Window between each header contact is clear
4. Window between each header contact is
partially blocked by contact band
CAUTION: Use only the torque wrench that is compatible with the IPG or the
device may be damaged and rendered unusable.
3. Insert the torque wrench through the septum and tighten the setscrew, turning it clockwise
until the wrench clicks.
Figure 3. Tighten the setscrew clockwise
4. Remove the torque wrench and check the septum to ensure that it closed. If the septum did
not close, gently reseat the septum flaps.
5. If implanting two leads, repeat the previous steps. If implanting a single lead only, insert the
header port plug into the unused port, and use the torque wrench to tighten the setscrew
until it clicks.
7
Figure 4. Insert the port plug
Implanting the IPG
The following steps outline the suggested procedure to implant the IPG:
1. Place the IPG into the IPG pocket with the logo side facing the skin surface and at a depth
not to exceed 4.0 cm (1.57 in).
NOTE: By implanting the IPG with the logo side facing the skin surface, you enhance
the IPG's ability to detect a magnet.
Figure 5. Place the IPG in the pocket
2. Carefully coil any excess lead or extension behind the IPG in loops no smaller than 2.5 cm
(1 in) in diameter to provide strain relief for the lead or extension and IPG connection.
CAUTION: Do not bring the suture needle in contact with an IPG, lead, or
extension, or the component may be damaged.
3. To stabilize the IPG within the pocket, pass suture through the holes at the top of the IPG
header and secure it to connective tissue.
4. Check the entire system by fluoroscopy before closing to ensure proper positioning of the
lead or leads and that it is straight, with no sharp bends or kinks.
5. Use the clinician programmer app to communicate with the IPG and perform intraoperative
testing to confirm that the system is operational. See the clinician's manual of the clinician
programmer app for instructions.
NOTE: IPG output may not be identical to that of the trial stimulator at the same
settings.
6. Ensure that the IPG is away from the pocket incision suture line, close the pocket incision,
8
and apply the appropriate dressings.
Figure 6. Close the pocket incision
Replacing the IPG
The following steps outline the suggested procedure to replace an IPG:
1. Turn off the IPG or verify that it is turned off.
CAUTION: Exercise care when using sharp instruments or electrocautery around
leads or extensions, or they may be damaged.
2. Open the IPG implant site per normal surgical procedure.
3. Insert the torque wrench through the septum of the IPG header and loosen the setscrew by
turning it counterclockwise.
CAUTION: When performing the following step, do not bend the lead or extension
sharply; or it may be damaged.
4. Gently remove the lead or extension from the IPG header; then clean and dry all
connections, ensuring they are free of fluid and tissue.
5. To complete the IPG replacement procedure, see the following sections: “Connecting a Lead
or Extension to the IPG” (page 5) and “Implanting the IPG” (page 7).
Disposing of Explanted Components
Explanted components should be returned to St. Jude Medical for proper disposal. To return an
explanted component, place it in a container or bag marked with a biohazard label and coordinate
the return with your St. Jude Medical™ representative or Technical Support.
Checking the Status of the IPG Battery
The IPG contains a nonrechargeable battery. The amount of time that the battery will provide
active stimulation depends on the patient’s stimulation settings and daily usage time. To check
the status of the IPG battery, use the clinician programmer app or patient controller app. The
clinician programmer app can also estimate how much time remains until the IPG battery can no
longer support stimulation. For more information about these functions, refer to the clinician’s
programming manual and the user’s guide for the patient controller app. For more information
about the estimated longevity of the IPG battery, see the product specifications in the appropriate
appendix in this manual.
NOTE: For more accurate measurements of the end of the IPG battery’s life, wait at
least 8 days after initial communication between the IPG and the clinician programmer
app.
The following information provides general guidelines for the battery status:
9
The battery status icon on the clinician programmer app or patient controller app shows a
decreasing fill as the batteries are used.
A warning will appear on the clinician programmer app or patient controller app when the
battery is critically low.
Stimulation will automatically stop when the battery cannot support stimulation.

Quality of Service for Wireless Technology
Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) wireless technology enables communication between the generator
and the patient controller. The requirements for the quality of service (QoS) vary depending on the
use environment (operating room, recovery room, and home environment).
After the patient controller is paired with a generator, the Bluetooth symbol is visible on the patient
controller in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. When the BLE connection is not active,
the symbol appears dimmed.
Other requirements include a semi-duplex transmission with a required acknowledge, a
transmission latency in each direction (2x), and a receive-to-transmit mode (RX-to-TX) time. Data
is resent if not sent successfully. Each key press may transmit up to 8 data packets, depending on
the number of packets that need to be transmitted (i.e., if there is only one packet to transmit,
only one packet will be transmitted).
Wireless Security Measures
The wireless signals are secured through device system design that includes the following:
The generator will encrypt its wireless communication.
Only one patient controller or clinician programmer may communicate with the generator at
the same time.
A unique key for each unit that is checked during each transmission.
Built-in pairing that specifies valid and legitimate pairing among units.
Proprietary authentication in addition to the pairing procedure specified in Bluetooth low
15
energy, which includes an element of proximity.
A proprietary algorithm that detects and prevents an unauthorized user from attempting to
pair with the generator.
Troubleshooting for Wireless and Coexistence Issues
If you experience issues with the wireless communication between the generator and the clinician
programmer or patient controller, try the following:
Decrease the distance between the devices
