Warnings
WARNING: Medical Procedures
DO NOT have any of the following procedures
before making sure the person administering
the procedure knows that you have the RNS®
System implanted and they have consulted with
the doctor who is monitoring your use of the
RNS® System:
• Computerized Tomography (CT or CAT)
scans.
• Radiation therapy (such as cobalt 60 or
gamma radiation to treat cancer).
• Lithotripsy (shock waves to break up hard
masses, such as kidney stones).
• Electrolysis (electrical current to remove
unwanted hair).
The energy used in these procedures may
damage the RNS® System. This could result
in stimulation not being delivered, additional
surgery to remove or replace parts of the RNS®
System, serious injury, or death.
Lithotripsy and Electrolysis should not be
performed on the head or neck.
In addition, Computerized Tomography (CT or
CAT) scans should be performed only under the
following conditions:
• The neurostimulator should be turned o
prior to the procedure if possible. This
should be done by your doctor or someone
who is authorized to adjust the settings
using the programmer.
• The scan should be taken at the lowest
X-ray beam level possible.
• Avoid directing the beam at or near the
implant site for more than a few seconds.
• Emergency services need to be available
in the event you have a serious side eect.
This is especially important if the scan area
includes the implant site.
• The neurostimulator should be turned back
on after the procedure.
WARNING: MRI Safety Information
MR
RNS® Neurostimulator model
RNS-320: You must consult your
doctor to determine whether an
MRI scan is possible for you. The
RNS® System (with RNS
Neurostimulator model RNS-320) is MR
Conditional, which means that an MRI scan may
be safely performed under specific conditions.
It may also be possible to have an MRI scan if
your neurostimulator has been explanted. If
your doctor determines it is possible for you to
have an MRI scan, he or she must make sure
that the conditions for a safe MRI scan are
followed. Those conditions include putting your
neurostimulator in MRI Mode, which uses more
battery and may aect battery life. While in MRI
Mode, the neurostimulator is not detecting or
delivering therapy to the patient. Therefore, you
should work with your doctor to minimize the
time your neurostimulator is in MRI Mode.
MR
RNS® Neurostimulator model
RNS-300M: DO NOT have a
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
scan if you have an RNS® System
with an RNS Neurostimulator model
RNS-300M implanted. The RNS Neurostimulator
model RNS-300M is MR Unsafe. Having an MRI
scan with an RNS Neurostimulator model
RNS-300M implanted may result in serious
injury or possible death.
MR
RNS® System External
Components: All external
components such as the magnet,
wand and remote monitor are MR
Unsafe and can pose a projectile

Remote Monitor Manual Model 5106
WARNING: Interaction with Implanted Cardiac
Devices
Possible eects of RNS® System interaction
with an implanted cardiac device (such as
pacemakers or defibrillators) include the
following:
• Defibrillation therapy from an implanted
defibrillator may damage the RNS® System.
The electrical pulses from the RNS® System
may interact with the sensing operation
from a cardiac device and could result in an
inappropriate response of the cardiac device
and vice versa.
WARNING: Adverse Tissue Reaction
Allergic reaction to the RNS® System materials
and/or leads implanted is possible.
WARNING: Chronic Tissue Stimulation
The eects of long-term brain stimulation are
not completely known and may present some
risks to the patient.
WARNING: Erosion
Skin erosion (breakdown of skin tissue) may
occur on and/or around the neurostimulator
and/or lead implant site, particularly in the case
of protrusion of the implanted RNS® System
products above the surface of the skull.
WARNING: Lead Migration
The implanted lead(s) may migrate (move)
from their desired implant location. Lead
migration can result in changes in detections
and stimulation eectiveness, and may require
additional surgical procedures to modify the
lead location.
WARNING: Pregnant Women
The safety and eectiveness of the RNS®
System has not been studied in pregnant
women.
WARNING: RNS® System Failure
As with any electronic device, the RNS® System
may malfunction (not work). Potential causes
include battery malfunctions, an electrical
short, open circuits, lead fractures, lead
insulation failures, or damage as a result of head
trauma. These malfunctions are unpredictable,
and may result in too little stimulation or no
stimulation. A lead failure may result in the
lead needing to be removed or repositioned,
which would require surgery. A malfunctioning
neurostimulator may need to be replaced,
which would require surgery. Although the
device is designed to turn o if overstimulation
or excess current occurs, there is a possibility
that product failure could result in brain tissue
damage.
WARNING: Case Damage
If the neurostimulator case is ruptured or
pierced due to outside forces, severe brain
tissue damage could result from exposure to
the battery chemicals.
WARNING: Electrical Shock
To avoid electrical shock (as with any electronic
device such as a tablet computer):
• DO NOT use the wand or tablet when you
are wet.
• DO NOT apply water or liquids directly to
the wand or tablet.
• DO NOT modify the power cord that came
with your remote monitor in any way. If your
remote monitor came with a 3-pronged
plug, connect it to an outlet that accepts
that type of plug.
• DO NOT use the wand or tablet during an
electrical storm.
• DO NOT clean the wand or tablet with
any cleaning liquids or aerosols. Wipe the
outside of the wand and tablet with a clean
cloth, dampened with water and wrung out.
Make sure to disconnect the tablet from the
electrical outlet before cleaning.

• DO NOT use the wand or tablet if you think
they appear to be damaged or are not
working properly.
• DO NOT attempt to modify or repair
the wand or tablet. Contact NeuroPace
Customer Support for assistance.
Not following these instructions may cause an
electrical shock that may result in serious injury
or death, and may damage the wand or tablet.
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.
WARNING: Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
Electromagnetic interference is a field of energy
generated by equipment found in the home,
work, medical, or public environments that is
strong enough to interfere with neurostimulator
function. Sources of strong electromagnetic
interference can result in the following eects:
• Serious injury or death - It is possible for
the interference sources to couple enough
energy into a neurostimulator system to
damage brain tissue.
• System damage - resulting in a loss or
change in symptom control and requiring
reoperation.
• Operational changes to the neurostimulator
- causing stimulation to turn on or o,
or resetting or reprogramming the
neurostimulator resulting in a return of
symptoms.
• Unexpected changes in stimulation -
causing a momentary increase in stimulation
which may be felt.
You should exercise caution to avoid devices
which generate a strong electric or magnetic
field. Refer to Electromagnetic Emissions and
Immunity on page 48 for more information.
WARNING: Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) Interference
RFID scanners can produce signals that appear
as brain activity to the neurostimulator. Such
signals could cause the neurostimulator to
deliver stimulation. 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 48 for more information.
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: Airport Security and Other
Surveillance Systems
Tell people working with security and theft
systems that you have the RNS® System
implanted and show your medical implant
identification card. Walk through the center of
security screening units without stopping, when
possible, and exit the area of the screening
device as soon as possible. Leave the security
area as soon as practical. Security screening
devices (such as theft detectors, security tag
deactivators, and airport security screening
devices) may be found at retail stores, public
libraries and airports. Such devices use
technology that can cause or temporarily
disrupt stimulation while you are being scanned.
For more information, contact your local airport
security oce or TSA (Transportation Safety
Administration).

SAFETY INFORMATION
Remote Monitor Manual Model 5106
WARNING: Wand Placement
DO NOT use (position) the wand over any other
medical device. This includes other implanted
devices such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, as
well as devices that are used outside the body,
such as a CPAP machine. Not following these
instructions may momentarily interfere with the
operation of other medical devices.
WARNING: Cables
Keep children from playing with the tablet
power cord and wand cable, which can pose
a risk of strangulation. To prevent damage to
cables and the risk of electric shock, prevent
pets, pests and children from chewing on
cables.
Cautions
Caution: Medical Procedures and Dental Work
Before all medical procedures tell the person
administering the procedure that you have the
RNS® System implanted. All medical procedures
and dental work should be performed with
caution. Contact your doctor as soon as
possible if you have questions or suspect your
RNS® System is not working properly after a
medical procedure.
Diagnostic x-rays and diagnostic ultrasounds
may be performed without aecting the RNS®
System.
Caution: Applying Pressure on the
Neurostimulator and Leads
DO NOT press on or play with the implanted
neurostimulator or leads. This may damage
the neurostimulator or leads and result in
stimulation not being delivered until they are
surgically repaired or replaced.
Caution: Magnet
DO NOT drop the magnet onto any hard
surface. The magnet can shatter into small,
sharp pieces that can cut the skin.
Caution: Household Magnets and Magnetic
Bracelets
DO NOT put items that contain magnets within
4 inches of the neurostimulator. Magnets
contained in such products as stereo speakers,
AM/FM radios, power tools, cellular, cordless
and conventional phones, as well as magnets
used therapeutically or worn on the body may
interfere with stimulation. Since it is not always
obvious if an item contains a magnet, refer
to the packaging and instructions that came
with the item for more information. You can
also call the manufacturer of the item and ask
them. Most headsets and earphones available in
stores do not interfere with stimulation, but not
all have been tested.

the tablet hardware or software. This includes
attaching external devices like a mouse. Any
changes you make that are not part of the
instructions may damage the remote monitor
and may not allow you to send data to the
PDMS database.
Caution: Data Collection
You should collect data from the
neurostimulator as directed by your doctor.
If connected to a Wi-Fi network, the remote
monitor sends data automatically to the
PDMS database. NeuroPace recommends you
collect data from the neurostimulator at least
once a day and maintain a Wi-Fi connection
to allow data to be sent the PDMS database
automatically. By receiving your data on a
regular basis, your doctor will be able to
identify problems and make adjustments. Your
doctor will also be able to determine when
battery power is getting low. If you do not
collect data as directed, your doctor may not be
able to review your data and make adjustments
on a timely basis.
If you are having seizures more frequently or
with greater severity, talk with your doctor
as soon as possible. Your doctor may ask
you to collect data on a more frequent
basis until adjustments can be made to the
neurostimulator settings.
Talk to your doctor about what you should
do if you are unable to collect data from your
neurostimulator as directed.
Caution: Operating Temperatures
DO NOT use the wand or tablet in temperatures
above or below the recommended operating
range (32°F - 95°F). The wand or tablet may
not operate properly at temperatures below
32°F or above 95°F. These devices may also
become warm during normal operation. DO
NOT use them when the room temperature is
above 95°F to avoid discomfort.
Caution: Remote Monitor Setup
DO NOT set up the remote monitor where
people can trip over the cords. The cords
may be tripping hazards, especially for small

SAFETY INFORMATION
Remote Monitor Manual Model 5106
The following diagram illustrates the NeuroPace® Remote Monitor network architecture in the
home environment.
The NeuroPace® Remote Monitor uses a short-
range wireless link between the wand and
the neurostimulator to collect the data stored
on the neurostimulator. The remote monitor
securely uploads this information to the PDMS
using a Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi is also used
to download software updates to the remote
monitor. These processes are designed to
reduce cybersecurity risks and protect data
from being read by anyone except those
authorized by the patient.
• Data communicated between the remote
monitor and the PDMS via the Internet are
encrypted using HTTPS (TLS). The remote
monitor will upload patient data only to the
PDMS.
• The remote monitor only runs the
NeuroPace application. The remote monitor
does not have a web browser for other
Internet communications.
• The remote monitor uses Windows firewall
software, which provides strong anti-virus
and anti-malware protection, prevents
unwanted connections and logs security
events and issues.
• The remote monitor deletes a patient’s
Protected Health Information (PHI) after
upload of the information to the PDMS is
complete.
• The remote monitor hard drive is encrypted
with AES-256 security so data cannot be
accessed if the device is lost or stolen.
• NeuroPace maintains regular security
patches for the Windows operating system.
WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE
REQUIREMENTS
The NeuroPace® Remote Monitor requires a
Wi-Fi connection to upload data to the PDMS.
This may be through a home wireless router or
another available Wi-Fi network that does not
require a web browser to create an account
for the connection. The network must allow
Internet communications on Port 443 for the
encryption software used between the remote
monitor and the PDMS.

CYBERSECURITY
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Refer to your RNS® System Patient
Manual for the indications for use. For a
complete discussion of indications for use,
contraindications, warnings, cautions, and
potential side eects, talk to your doctor.
PURPOSE OF YOUR REMOTE MONITOR
The NeuroPace® Remote Monitor (5106) is
designed for use with the RNS® Neurostimulator
(models RNS-300M and RNS-320).
A remote monitor lets you collect data from
the neurostimulator and automatically sends
the data to your doctor. The remote monitor
consists of a special software program installed
on a tablet computer, a wand, and accessories.
After connecting the hand-held wand to the
tablet, data in the neurostimulator are collected
by placing the wand over the neurostimulator.
The wand uses Radio Frequency (RF)
communication to collect the data. Data are
stored in the tablet and then sent to a secure
database. The database is called the PDMS
(Patient Data Management System) and your
doctor can access your data. Your doctor will
review the data and use the results to adjust the
neurostimulator settings during future oce
visits.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please see your RNS® System patient manual
for additional information regarding the RNS®
System and treatment.
You must be willing to collect data from the
neurostimulator as directed by your doctor.
If connected to a Wi- Fi network, the remote
monitor sends data automatically to the PDMS
database. NeuroPace recommends you collect
data from the neurostimulator at least once
a day and maintain a Wi-Fi connection to
allow data to be sent to the PDMS database
automatically.
