Electromagnetic Interference. Strong electromagnetic fields can potentially turn the
Stimulator off, cause temporary unpredictable changes in stimulation, or interfere with the
Remote Control communication. Patients should be counseled to avoid or exercise care around
the following:
• Theft detectors, tag deactivators and RFID devices, such as those used at department
stores, libraries, and other public establishments. The patient should proceed with
caution, ensuring to move through the center of the detector as quickly as possible.
• Security screeners, such as those used in Airport Security or at entrances to government
buildings, including hand-held scanners. The patient should request assistance to
bypass the device. If the patient must pass through the security screener, they should
move quickly through the device staying as far from the physical device as allowable.
• Power lines or power generators.
• Electric steel furnaces and arc welders.
• Large magnetized stereo speakers.
• Strong magnets.
• Automobiles or other motorized vehicles using a LoJack system or other
anti-theft systems that can broadcast a radio frequency (RF) signal. The
high energy fields produced by these systems may interfere with the
operation of the Remote Control and its ability to control stimulation.
• Other sources of electromagnetic disturbance, such as RF transmitters
at television or radio broadcast stations, Amateur Radio or Citizens Band
radio transceivers, or Family Radio Service band transceivers.
Note: When in close proximity, equipment that generates strong electromagnetic
fields might cause unintended stimulation or interfere with wireless
communication even if they comply with International Special
Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) requirements
