Inspire Medical Confidential
• Ultrasonic scanning — While there is no danger to the patient, ultrasonic scanning
equipment could cause mechanical damage to an IPG or leads if used directly over the
implant sites.
• Defibrillation — Defibrillation used anywhere on the patient’s body can cause permanent
damage to the IPG. Following defibrillation, the IPG should be interrogated to verify normal
operation.
Home or work environment
Based on laboratory tests of the IPG, the device should not be affected by the normal operation
of electrical equipment, household appliances, electric machine shop tools, microwave ovens,
internal combustion engines, low-powered radio, and microwave frequency transmitters. All
such equipment should be kept in good repair and properly grounded to avoid the possibility of
electrical shock or interference with the proper operation of the IPG.
Inspire therapy is intended for use during sleep only and should be turned off otherwise.
• Equipment operation — Patients should not operate potentially dangerous equipment,
such as power tools, during stimulation.
• Theft detectors — In general, theft detectors have been known to cause inadvertent and
potentially uncomfortable stimulation in neurological stimulation systems. Patients should
use care to avoid theft detectors and be aware in the presence of such systems.
• High-powered electric fields — Consult Inspire Medical Systems when the patient will
be in an area where contact with current carrying conductors is possible or near
high-powered electromagnetic fields radiated by arc welding units, induction furnaces,
induction stoves, resistance welders, radio or microwave frequency transmitters, etc.
• Mobile and cellular phones — Maintain a separation of at least 15 cm (6 in) between a
phone and the IPG.
