Information for Patients
X-ray and CT scans may damage the Stimulator if stimulation is on. X-Ray and CT Scans are unlikely
to damage the Stimulator if stimulation is turned off.
Before having procedures, medical therapies, or diagnostics, have your healthcare professional call
our Customer Service department for proper instructions. Refer to "Contacting Boston Scientific" in
this manual for contact information for your locality.
Automobiles and Other Equipment. Do not operate an automobile, other motorized vehicle, or
any potentially dangerous machinery/equipment with therapeutic stimulation switched on. Turn off
stimulation first. Sudden stimulation changes, if they occur, may distract you from attentive operation
of the vehicle or equipment.
Post Operative. During the two weeks following surgery, it is important to use extreme care so that
appropriate healing will secure the implanted components and close the surgical incisions:
• Do not lift objects of more than five pounds.
• Do not engage in rigorous physical activity such as twisting, bending, or climbing.
• If new leads were implanted, do not raise your arms above your head.
Temporarily, there may be some pain in the area of the implant as the incisions heal. If discomfort
continues beyond two weeks, contact your physician.
