at least one week. Avoid excessive stress (tugging, pressure, heat) that may damage the stimulation system.
•You may resume exercise and/or physical therapy when directed by your doctor.
•Do not use the system while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which sudden muscle
tension may put you at risk of injury.
•Never soak the exit site in water. It is okay to shower. Always remove the Pulse Generator (stimulator) and
Mounting Pad from your body and keep the Waterproof Bandage over your exit site when showering.
•Review the
Warnings, Precautions & Risks

that may cause injury, discomfort, or damage to your system. Examples include MRI & diathermy.
SYSTEM USE AT HOME

Pad must be in contact with your skin. Check that all cables are firmly connected.

CLEANING & CARE

the skin (about every 4-5 days). Take care when removing these to prevent pulling the MicroLead out.
