Limited Warranty - IPG
Boston Scientic Corporation (referred to as Boston Scientic) warrants to the patient who receives a
Precision Implantable Pulse Generator (referred to as the IPG) that the IPG will be free from defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of (5) ve years from the date of surgical implant of the IPG. This
warranty applies only to the patient who has the IPG implanted and no other person or entity. This warranty
does not apply to the leads, extensions, or surgical accessories used with the IPG.
If the IPG fails to function within normal ranges within (5) ve years after the date it is implanted, Boston
Scientic will replace the IPG with a functionally equivalent IPG made by Boston Scientic. No other relief
whatsoever is available under this limited warranty. The limited warranty for a replacement IPG will last only
for ve years from the date of surgical implant of the original IPG. Claims under this limited warranty are
subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:
1. The product registration card must be completed and returned to Boston Scientic within 30 days of
surgery.
2. The IPG must be purchased after January 1, 2005 and implanted before the “use by” date.
3. Failure of the IPG must be conrmed by Boston Scientic.
4. The IPG must be returned to Boston Scientic (or a Boston Scientic authorized agent) within 30 days
after it fails to function within normal ranges. That IPG will be the property of Boston Scientic.
5. Accidental damage to the Rechargeable IPG occurring during a medical procedure is covered by this
limited warranty.
6. This limited warranty does not include failures to function within normal ranges caused by:
(a) re, oods, lightning, natural disasters, water damage and other calamities commonly dened as “Acts
of God”;
(b) misuse, abuse, or the customer’s failure to operate the IPG in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions;
(c) unauthorized attempts to repair, maintain, or modify the IPG by the patient or any unauthorized third
party.
This limited warranty is the only warranty that applies to the IPG, and Boston Scientic expressly
disclaims any other warranty, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or
tness for a particular purpose. Under this limited warranty, Boston Scientic will be responsible only for
replacement of the IPG with a functionally equivalent IPG made by Boston Scientic and will not be liable for
any damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental) caused by the IPG, whether the claim is
based on warranty, contract, tort or any other theory.
Boston Scientic assumes no liability with respect to instruments reused, reprocessed or resterilized
and makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability or tness
for a particular purpose, with respect to such instruments.
