information for Patients
If you notice excessive redness around the wound areas during this time, contact your physician
to check for infection and administer proper treatment. In rare cases, adverse tissue reaction to
implanted materials can occur during this period.
Be sure to consult your physician before making any lifestyle changes due to decreases in pain.
Implant Location. Never attempt to change the orientation or "flip" (rotate or spin) the implant. Do
not "finger" or play with the implant. If the implant flips over in your body it cannot be charged. If you
know that the device has turned, or if stimulation cannot be turned on after charging, contact your
physician to arrange an evaluation of the system.
In some cases, the skin over your implant may become very thin over time. If this occurs, contact
your physician.
Lead Location. In some instances a lead can move from its original location, and stimulation at
the intended pain site can be lost. If this occurs, consult your physician who may be able to restore
stimulation by reprogramming the implant in the clinic or repositioning the lead during another
operation.
Device Failure. Implants can fail at any time due to random component failure, loss of battery
functionality, or lead breakage. If the device stops working even after complete charging (up to four
hours), turn off the Stimulator and contact your physician so that the system can be evaluated.
