Know the limitations and hazards associated with your StimRouter. Discuss any questions you have with your clinician. If at any time you are concerned about the safety or the effectiveness of your StimRouter, consult your treating clinician or Bioness Customer Support Representative: Telephone: (800) 211-9136. The StimRouter should only be used under proper medical guidance and as described in this manual. Indications for Use The StimRouter Implantable Neurostimulator provides electrical stimulation via an implantable lead to a target stimulation point, for aid in the management of chronic intractable pain. Contraindications The StimRouter should not be used if you have any of the following:
An implanted cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator Any electrical or metallic implant in the area intended for implant General Warnings and Cautions 2-3 Warnings A cancerous lesion near the target stimulation area or near to where the user patch will adhere A fracture or dislocation near the target stimulation area or near to where the user patch will adhere The StimRouter should not be used if you may require:
Diathermy treatment Magnetic resonance imaging Diathermy Shortwave, microwave and/or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy should not be used on patients who have a StimRouter Implantable Neurostimulator. The energy generated by diathermy can be transferred through the StimRouter, causing tissue damage at the lead site and resulting in severe injury or death. Diathermy may also damage the neurostimulation components, resulting in loss of therapy and requiring additional surgery for lead replacement. Injury or damage can occur during diathermy treatment whether the neurostimulation system is turned on or off. All patients are advised to inform their health-care professional that they should not be exposed to diathermy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Patients implanted with the StimRouter Implantable Neurostimulator should not be subjected to MRI. MRI exposure may dislodge the implanted lead, heat the lead, damage the component electronics and/or cause voltage induction through the lead. Implanted Stimulation Devices Neurostimulators, such as the StimRouter, may interfere with the operation of implanted sensing stimulators such as pacemakers or 2-4 StimRouter User Manual cardiovascular defibrillators. The effects of implanted sensing stimulators on neurostimulators are unknown. Flammable Fuel or Chemicals Turn the StimRouter (remote control and stimulation) off when near a refueling point, flammable fuel, fumes or chemicals. The operation of the StimRouter could cause the chemicals or fumes to ignite, causing severe burns, injury or death. Electrosurgery Devices Advise your health-care professional that electrosurgery devices should not be used in close proximity to an implanted neurostimulation lead. Contact between an active electrode of the electrosurgery device and an implanted lead can cause direct stimulation of the nerve or other target stimulation point and severe injury may result. High-Frequency Surgical Equipment Remove the user patch before medical treatment. Simultaneous connection to the StimRouter and high-frequency surgical equipment may result in skin burns where the gel electrodes adhere to the skin and may damage the external pulse transmitter. Driving and Operating Machinery Turn off stimulation while driving and operating machinery. Pregnancy Avoid exposure to electrical stimulation for the entire duration of pregnancy. The effects of electrical stimulation on pregnancy are unknown. Long-Term Effectiveness of Neurostimulation The long-term effectiveness of neurostimulation is unknown. General Warnings and Cautions 2-5 System Programming Only the treating clinician should program the StimRouter. System Components Use only Bioness components with your StimRouter. Use of non-Bioness components may damage your system and cause injury to you. Precautions Medical Devices/Therapies The following medical therapies or procedures may turn stimulation off, or may cause permanent damage to the StimRouter lead and external components and injury to the patient, particularly if used in close proximity to the system components:
Lithotripsy Electrocautery External defibrillation Radiation therapy Ultrasonic scanning High-output ultrasound For Patient Use Only Do not adhere the user patch to any other person or to any other part of your body. The StimRouter user patch is meant to be worn only by the patient for which it was prescribed and in the location where it was prescribed. Postural Changes Turn off stimulation before making extreme posture changes or abrupt movements such as stretching, lifting of arms overhead, or exercising. 2-6 StimRouter User Manual Changes in posture or abrupt movements may decrease or increase your perceived level of stimulation. Keep out of Reach of Children Keep all StimRouter components out of the reach of children. Skin Abnormalities Do not adhere the user patch to sites that are swollen, infected or inflamed, or that have skin eruptions such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins. Skin Irritation It is normal for the areas under the user patch to be red. The redness should disappear in approximately one hour. However, some patients may experience skin irritation, an allergic reaction, or hypersensitivity to the electrical stimulation or the electrical conductive medium. Persistent redness, lesions or blisters are signs of irritation. Use of the StimRouter should be temporarily halted until the inflammation is resolved. In some cases, irritation can be avoided by changing the stimulation parameters. Consult your treating clinician if irritation persists. User Patch Placement and Stimulation Turn stimulation off before adhering, removing or handling the StimRouter user patch. Do not activate stimulation until the user patch is in place. Do not handle the user patch with both hands while stimulation is turned on; serious injury can result from electrical current passing through the chest area. Only the treating clinician should determine user patch placement and stimulation settings. Do not apply the user patch over any obstruction that would reduce the designated electrode surface area. A smaller electrode surface area could result in serious tissue injury during stimulation. General Warnings and Cautions 2-7 X-Ray Examinations Do not wear the StimRouter user patch during x-ray examinations. Known or Suspected Heart Problems Consult your physician if you have or suspect you have a heart condition. Physicians should use caution when treating patients with suspected or diagnosed heart problems. Device Failure Leads can fail at any time because of random component failure or lead breakage. If stimulation is no longer effective, contact your treating clinician or Bioness Customer Support. Care and Handling of Components Handle all system components and accessories with care. Do not drop components and accessories. Although reliability testing has been performed to ensure quality manufacturing and performance, dropping the components on hard surfaces, or other rough handling, can permanently damage the components. Storage and Operation Temperatures Do not expose components to extreme temperature conditions or moisture. Expiration Date Do not use a user patch with a use-by date that has expired. Adverse Effects Note: In the unlikely event that any of the following occurs, stop using the StimRouter and immediately consult your treating clinician. 2-8 StimRouter User Manual Risks Related to Stimulation Operation of the StimRouter may cause increased pain in an area(s) other than the implant site. The pain may be caused by stimulation of the tissue surrounding the lead (skin, fascia and muscle). You may feel undesirable or unpleasant sensations related to stimulation because of cellular changes in tissue surrounding the lead. You may experience an undesirable motor response during stimulation. Risks Related to the Device Migration of the lead may cause changes in stimulation. While very unlikely, a tissue reaction to any of the implanted materials may occur. External electromagnetic interference may cause the StimRouter to malfunction and may affect stimulation. Magnetic resonance imaging may result in heating of the lead, image artifact, induced voltages on the lead or lead movement. You may experience persistent pain at the implant site of the lead. The lead may fail or malfunction, requiring that the lead be explanted and a new lead be implanted. Rarely, the skin overlying the lead may erode. Portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
