▪ Do not direct high radiaon sources such as cobalt 60 or gamma radiaon at the pulse generator. If a▪
paent requires radiaon therapy in the vicinity of the pulse generator, place lead shielding over the
device to prevent radiaon damage, and conrm the device is funconing aer treatment.

Environmental and Medical Therapy Hazards
▪
Advise paents to avoid devices that generate a strong electric or magnec interference (EMI). EMI could
▪
cause malfuncon of or damage to the pulse generator, resulng in non‑detecon or delivery of
unneeded therapy. Moving away from the source or turning it o will usually allow the pulse generator to
return to its normal mode of operaon.
▪
Advise paents to avoid any areas marked with a “No Pacer” symbol.
