Limited Warranty
IPG
Boston Scientific Corporation (referred to as Boston Scientific) warrants to the patient
who receives a Vercise™ Implantable Pulse Generator (referred to as the IPG) that the
IPG will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of five (5) years
from the date of surgical implant of the IPG. This warranty applies only to the patient
who has the IPG implanted and no other person or entity. This warranty does not apply to
the leads, extensions, or surgical accessories used with the IPG.
If the IPG fails to function within normal ranges within five (5) years after the date it
is implanted, Boston Scientific will replace the IPG with a functionally equivalent IPG
made by Boston Scientific. No other relief whatsoever is available under this limited
warranty. The limited warranty for a replacement IPG will last only for five years from
the date of surgical implant of the original IPG. Claims under this limited warranty are
subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:
1. The product registration card must be completed and returned to Boston Scientific
within 30 days of surgery.
2. The IPG must be purchased after January 1, 2005 and implanted before the "use by"
date.
3. Failure of the IPG must be confirmed by Boston Scientific.
4. The IPG must be returned to Boston Scientific (or a Boston Scientific authorized
agent) within 30 days after it fails to function within normal ranges. That IPG will be
the property of Boston Scientific.
5. This limited warranty does not include failures to function within normal ranges
caused by:
(a) Fire, floods, lightning, natural disasters, water damage, and other calamities
commonly defined as "Acts of God";
(b) Accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, or the customer's failure to operate the IPG
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions;
(c) Unauthorized attempts to repair, maintain, or modify the IPG by the patient or any
unauthorized third party; or
(d) Attaching equipment to the IPG that is not supplied or expressly authorized by
Boston Scientific.
This limited warranty is the only warranty that applies to the IPG, and Boston
Scientific expressly disclaims any other warranty, express or implied, including any
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
