Instructions For The Physician - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Serie Manual De Uso

Precision™ System Clinician Manual
• The patient may experience painful
electrical stimulation of the chest wall
as a result of stimulation of certain
nerve roots several weeks after
surgery.
• Over time, the Stimulator may move
from its original position.
• Weakness, clumsiness, numbness or
pain below the level of implantation.
• Persistent pain at the IPG or lead site.
In any event, instruct the patient to contact
their physician to inform him/her.

Instructions for the Physician

Implanted Stimulation Devices. If such
implanted devices are indicated for the
patient, careful screening is required to
determine if safe results can be achieved
before permanently implementing concurrent
electrical therapies.
Postural Changes. Depending on the activity
level of the patient, postural changes may
affect stimulation intensity. Instruct patients
to keep the Remote Control on hand at all
times, and ensure that they understand how
to adjust stimulation levels.

Medical Devices/Therapies. If the
patient is required to undergo lithotripsy,
electrocautery, external defibrillation, radiation
therapy, ultrasonic scanning, or high-output
ultrasound:
• Turn off stimulation at least five
minutes before the procedure or
application.
• All equipment, including ground plates
and paddles, must be used as far
away from the IPG as possible.
• Bipolar electrocautery is
recommended. Do not use monopolar
electrocautery.
• Every effort should be taken to keep
fields, including current, radiation, or
high-output ultrasonic beams, away
from the IPG.
• Equipment should be set to the lowest
energy setting clinically indicated.
• Instruct patients to confirm IPG
functionality following treatment by
turning on the IPG and gradually
increasing stimulation to the desired
level.
