Introduction 6
RNS®System Programming Manual
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS –PROGRAMMER
Note: See the RNS®System manual for warnings and cautions regarding other components of
the RNS®System.
WARNING: PHYSICIAN AND CENTER ACCESS TO THE RNS®SYSTEM
The RNS®System should only be implanted by neurosurgeons with adequate
experience in the implantation of subdural and stereotactic implantation of
intraparenchymal electrodes and in the surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy. The
RNS®System should only be used by neurologists or neurosurgeons with adequate
experience in the management of intractable epilepsy and in the localization of
epileptic foci, including the use of scalp and intracranial electrodes.
Neurologists and neurosurgeons using the RNS®System must have completed the
NeuroPace®RNS®System training program. To qualify to manage patients with the
RNS®System, physicians must demonstrate specific expertise related to epilepsy,
video-EEG monitoring, interpretation of electrocorticograms (ECoGs), the
pharmacology of antiepileptic medications and selection of patients for epilepsy
surgery. Implantation of the RNS®System should be performed only by qualified
neurosurgeons at centers capable of providing comprehensive epilepsy care, i.e.
“Comprehensive Epilepsy Centers.” These centers should have the expertise to
provide diagnostic services that include video-EEG monitoring with scalp and
intracranial electrodes and neuroimaging, and are experts in the treatment of epilepsy
with antiepileptic medications, epilepsy surgery, and devices.
WARNING: MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH THE RNS®SYSTEM BY PHYSICIANS AT CENTERS THAT DO
NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES PROVIDED AT COMPREHENSIVE EPILEPSY CENTERS
In some instances, post-implant programming may be conducted by neurologists
meeting the experience and certification requirements for neurologists at
Comprehensive Epilepsy Centers, but who are not practicing in such centers. This
situation might occur if the patient is not able to travel to a Comprehensive Epilepsy
Center for regular follow-up (e.g. because of distance from the Center or limited
access to transportation). These neurologists will be qualified by NeuroPace to provide
post-implant programming. After NeuroPace®RNS®System training is complete, the
qualified programming neurologist may receive external NeuroPace products
(programmer, remote monitor).
WARNING: POTENTIAL SHOCK
Submerging any part of the programmer, or operating the programmer in or near a wet
environment, may result in an electrical shock.
The programmer must be disconnected from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning to
avoid the potential of electrical shock.
Electrical shock may occur if the programmer AC adapter and power cord are not
properly connected to a grounded power source.
WARNING: RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) INTERFERENCE
Sources of RFID can result in signals that appear as ECoG activity to the
neurostimulator. Signals that appear as ECoG activity could also result in delivering

Introduction 7
RNS®System Programming Manual
the programmed stimulation to the patient (per the device detection programming).
The physician should be aware of possible sensing artifacts when assessing the
ECoG recordings. Potential sources of RFID may occur in a health care environment,
retail stores, public libraries, airports and business environments.
Refer to Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity on page 99 for more
information.
WARNING: SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC TRACKING SYSTEMS
Security screening devices (such as theft detectors, security tag deactivators, and
airport security screening devices) can result in signals that appear as ECoG activity to
the neurostimulator. Signals that appear as ECoG activity could also result in
delivering the programmed stimulation to the patient (per the device detection
programming). Such devices may be found at retail stores, public libraries and
airports. The physician should be aware of possible sensing artifacts when assessing
the ECoG recordings. Patients should be instructed to walk through the center of such
security screening units without stopping, when possible, and exit the area of the
screening device as soon as possible.
WARNING: NEUROPACE COMPONENTS
Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those provided by NeuroPace
could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of the RNS®System and result in improper operation.
WARNING: PORTABLE AND MOBILE RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 12 inches (30
cm) to any part of the RNS®System, including cables. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of the RNS®System could result.
WARNING: NEUROPACE®EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT
Use of NeuroPace®equipment (for example, remote monitor or programmer) adjacent
to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, the NeuroPace®equipment and other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Caution: Telemetry Artifact
Telemetry may produce an electrographic artifact. If responsive therapy is enabled
with a sensitive detection set, detection of the electrographic artifact may occur
resulting in therapy delivery. The physician should be aware of possible sensing
artifacts when assessing the ECoG recordings.
Caution: Afterdischarge Activity
If evidence of afterdischarge activity resulting from stimulation is seen either on stored
ECoGs or during test stimulation delivery, stimulation parameters should be adjusted
to prevent such occurrence.

Introduction 8
RNS®System Programming Manual
Caution: Programmer Failure
As with any electronic device, the programmer may be damaged or malfunction if the
programmer AC adapter and power cord are not properly connected to a grounded
power source.
Caution: Incompatibility of Programmer with Other Medical Devices
The effects of using the programmer to interrogate other electronic, programmable
devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, and other
neurostimulators or CPAP machines are unknown. It could result in reprogramming of
the other device and therefore, the physicians familiar with each device should check
the programmed parameters of each device before the patient is discharged and after
each programming session of either device.
Caution: Electronic Interference
Communications between the programmer and the implanted neurostimulator may be
interrupted by emissions from nearby electronic devices. Examples of sources of EMI
are lithotripsy, computer monitors, cellular telephones, motorized wheel chairs, x-ray
equipment and other monitoring equipment. Interruption of telemetry can result in
incomplete communication. If EMI disrupts programming, move the programmer away
from the likely source of EMI. Refer to Poor or No Communication Between the
RNS®Neurostimulator and the RNS®Tablet (page 96) for more information.
Caution: Placement of the Programmer Power Cord
Make sure nothing rests on the programmer power cord and that the cord is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Caution: Heating
The programmer’s AC adapter may become hot during normal operation. Use care
when handling during or immediately after operation.
STERILIZATION AND STORAGE
Product Storage
Components should be stored in a clean and secure area with a room temperature of approximately
14 to 28 degrees Celsius.
Explant and Disposal
Program all detection and therapy functions to DISABLED prior to explanting and shipping the RNS®
Neurostimulator. Return the explanted neurostimulator and leads to NeuroPace. NeuroPace will
provide shipping containers if requested.
DO NOT incinerate the neurostimulator; explosion can occur if the neurostimulator is exposed to
incineration or cremation temperatures.
Wand Cleaning and Sterilization
The wand can be cleaned by wiping with water. It can be placed in a sterile bag for use in the sterile
field. DO NOT STERILIZE the wand.

Introduction 9
