Note: If you have a slender build, your implanted device may
appear more prominently under the skin. If this is the case, extra
care should be taken to avoid any direct blows to your implant
site.
• Contact your doctor if you notice anything unexpected or unusual
such as new symptoms.
• Inform your doctor if you plan to engage in long-distance travel.
• If you plan to change your place of residence, inform your doctor,
and discuss the need for a referral in the new area.

undue strain on your wounds.
6.0 LIVING WITH YOUR OPTIMIZER INTEGRA
CCM-D IPG
6.1 General Expectations
You will be able to feel your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG
beneath the skin. Normal body movement will cause no harm to it
or the attached leads. However, it is important that you not try to
move or turn your implanted IPG. It has been implanted with a
specific orientation to the skin to ensure proper communication
with the Intelio Programmer and your Guardio Charger.
6.2 Effect on Your Activities
Once the wounds from your surgery are healed, you can expect to
resume your normal activities, including sexual intimacy. Your
implanted OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG is unaffected by
walking, bending over, or other normal daily activities.
Caution: While healing from your surgery, refrain from engaging
in activity that involves excessive movement of the arm and
shoulder that is closest to your implant site.
6.3 Medications
Prescription medications, taken as directed, have no effect upon
the proper operation of your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG.
In general, the implantation of your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D
IPG should not require you to alter the use of any medication.
