• 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.
Precautions
Physician training is required.
Medical Devices/Therapies. The following medical therapies or procedures may turn
stimulation off or may cause permanent damage to the Stimulator, particularly if used in close
proximity to the device:
• lithotripsy
• electrocautery (See "Instructions for the Physician" on page 7)
• external defibrillation
• radiation therapy (Any damage to the device by radiation may not be immediately
detectable.)
• ultrasonic scanning
• high-output ultrasound
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.
