Electromagnetic Interference. Strong electromagnetic fields can potentially turn the
Stimulator off, or cause uncomfortable or jolting stimulation or affect wireless communication.
Patients should be counseled to avoid or exercise care around:
• Theft detectors or security screeners such as those used at entrances/exits of department
stores, libraries, and other public establishments, and/or airport security screening devices.
It is recommended that patients request assistance to bypass the device. If they must
proceed through the device, the patient should turn off the Stimulator and proceed with
caution, moving through the center of the screener as quickly as possible.
• Power lines or power generators
• Electric steel furnaces and arc welders
• Large, magnetized stereo speakers
• Tag deactivators such as those found in retail stores and libraries
Note: When in close proximity, equipment that generate strong electromagnetic fields might
cause uncomfortable or jolting stimulation or interfere with wireless communication even
if they comply with CISPR requirements.
If the patient is near these devices, he may become aware of changing stimulation levels. In
rare instances, if the stimulation is on, the patient could experience an increase in stimulation
level to the point that the sensation is uncomfortably strong or possibly "jolting." If this happens,
the patient should turn off the Stimulator. If the Stimulator suddenly turns off by itself, the patient
should first move away from the area. Next, check the stimulation status with the Remote
Control by pressing the Unlock button and observing the screen. The implant may need to be
recharged before stimulation can be restarted. The patient can refer to the Charging Handbook
for further information.
The patient should be counseled to always be aware of his surroundings, particularly near theft
detectors/security screeners. He should ask for assistance to go around these devices if he
feels at all uncomfortable.
