If the Senza system is right for you, your doctor will discuss with you the implantation
of a battery-powered device after the trial phase. The Senza system components will
include:
• Implantable pulse generator (IPG) is a small, battery-powered electronic
device that is implanted inside the body (see IPG in the diagram above).
• Lead, instead of connecting to an external stimulator as occurred during the
trial phase, will connect to the implanted IPG. After implantation there are no
external wires or connections as occurred during the trial phase (see lead
wires in diagram above).
• Charger recharges the IPG after it is implanted.
• Power Adaptor recharges the Charger.
• Charger Belt and Charger Holster holds the Charger during recharging.
• Remote Control can turn the IPG ON or OFF and allows for some adjustments
of therapy settings.
For pictures of the Charger, Power Adaptor, Charger Belt and Remote Control, please see the “System
Components” section at the end of this manual.
IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR or IPG. A self-contained battery-powered device
that is small enough to fit in a person’s hand and delivers small amounts of electrical
energy or pulses.
You will first use the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control. If the Senza system is right
for you, your doctor will then implant the IPG. You control the implanted device with
the same Remote Control.
