Rechargeable Stimulator System
The Precision Stimulator is rechargeable. Battery life is dependent on your stimulation settings and
conditions. Depending on stimulation power usage and programming, the majority of patients will need to
recharge the Stimulator between once per week and once per month. High power users will require more
frequent charging. Boston Scientic recommends any recharge routine that ts the patient’s schedule and
lifestyle while maintaining sufcient charge to maintain stimulation.
Developing a patient’s recharge routine involves nding the right balance among the following:
• How much power is required for the patient to experience effective therapy.
• How often the patient wants to recharge.
• How long the patient wants to recharge.
• How the patient would like to manage their personal schedule.
The Bionic Navigator software will estimate charging time based on 24 hours per day of stimulation at the
programmed settings. Recharge time can range from ten minutes to four hours. To charge fully, wait until
the Charger emits an end of charge beep signal or the Remote Control displays three battery bars. The
recharging process is simple, but important.
The rechargeable Stimulator battery should provide at least ve years of service. Over time and with repeated
charging, the battery in the Stimulator will lose its ability to recover its full capacity. As a result, the Stimulator
may need to be recharged more often. The Stimulator may need replacement when stimulation can no longer
be maintained with regular charging.
IPG Battery Status
The patient Remote Control displays the Stimulator battery status when communicating with the Stimulator.
When the Remote Control indicates a low battery (message: Recharge Stimulator Soon), the Stimulator
should be recharged as soon as possible.
