Device Failure
Implants can fail at any time due to:
• Random component failure
• Loss of battery function
• Lead breakage
• Lead migration
Stopping stimulation suddenly can cause serious reactions to develop. If the IPG stops working, even after complete charging,
turn off stimulation with your Remote Control and contact your healthcare provider right away. Your healthcare provider will
assess the DBS System and provide proper medical care to manage the return of symptoms.
IPG Orientation
Never attempt to change the orientation of the IPG or turn over the IPG. Avoid touching the incisions or IPG site. If the IPG flips
over in your body, it may be unable to communicate with the Remote Control or Clinician Programmer. If the IPG flips over in
your body, it cannot be charged. If stimulation cannot be turned on after charging, contact your healthcare provider to arrange an
exam of the System.
If you notice a change in appearance of the skin at the IPG location, such as the skin becoming thin over time, contact your
healthcare provider.
