End of Service
End of Battery Life
When the IPG battery is fully depleted, the End of Service (EOS) indicator will be displayed
on the remote control and clinician programmer. Stimulation will not be available. Surgery is
required to replace the implanted non-rechargeable stimulator to continue providing stimulation.
End of Programmed Service
The Precision Novi software is programmed to end service after 12 years. In cases where the
Precision Novi battery longevity is greater than 12 years, the Remote Control and Clinician
Programmer provide the following indicators to inform the user that end of the programmed
period is approaching:
• Remote Control - Approximately six months before the end of programmed period,
the Remote Control displays a weekly message indicating the number of service days
remaining. Approximately one month before the end of the programmed period, the
message displays daily.
• Clinician Programmer - When less than six months of service period remain, an indicator
displays on the Connect screen of the Clinician Programmer. When end of the programmed
period has been reached, a message displays when connecting to the Stimulator to indicate
that end of the programmed period has been reached and programming is not allowed.
