Description
The WaveWriter Alpha™, WaveWriter Alpha™ 16, WaveWriter Alpha™ Prime, and WaveWriter Alpha™
Prime 16 Implantable Pulse Generators (IPG) are intended to treat chronic pain by electrically stimulating
the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. The multi-channel, multi-electrode device capability provides flexibility
in conjunction with ease of programming. The IPGs are controlled by a handheld Remote Control, and can
be engaged by a Clinician Programmer using proprietary programming software.

The IPG contains a radiopaque identification tag. The identification tag is visible using standard x-ray
procedures and will help identify the device model number without performing a surgical operation.
