PRECAUTIONS
Precautions are instructions about your device you should follow to avoid damage to
the device, so that it will function correctly and last longer.
• Store the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control at normal temperatures in the
range of -4 to 140° F (-20 to 60°C).
• Keep the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control dry.
• Do not drop the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control. Although these devices
are built for constant use, they could break if dropped onto a hard surface.
• Do not plug your Charger into a power source near water.
• Use only Nevro or Nevro-approved accessories with your Senza system.
Caring for the Trial Stimulator, Remote Control, and Charging System
– You can care
for your Trial Stimulator, Remote Control, and Charger by cleaning them with a soft,
damp (not wet) cloth and mild detergent. If you prefer, you can also clean these
accessories with isopropyl alcohol, available at a drug or department store. Do not use
any harsh or abrasive cleansers and never let moisture get inside these items.
Pregnancy and Nursing
– This device is not to be used in pregnant/nursing women, or
women who may become pregnant.
Patient Activities
– Some therapy settings are known to cause tingling sensations
(called “paresthesias”). With such settings, you may feel a sudden increase in these
sensations when you change your posture or make large or sudden movements. You
can lower the amplitude or turn off the stimulation before making posture changes. If
you are using stimulation at 10 kHz which does not generate paresthesia, these
postural changes should not affect you.
Patient Activities Related to Lead Movement
– Do not make sudden and excessive
bending, stretching, or twisting movements, particularly within the first weeks after
the surgery. An implanted lead can move from its original location during such
movements, which might affect delivery of therapy. In such cases, your system may
need to be reprogrammed or the lead may need to be repositioned through another
operation.
