SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6
Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this
device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of
25 microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
• Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy, therapeutic
ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy anywhere on
their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave,
ultrasound, and laser) can be transferred through the
implanted neurostimulation system, can cause tissue
damage, and can result in
severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off.”
