•
Lithotripsy – High-output sound or shock waves often used to treat gall stones and kidney stones. High frequency
signals directed near the IPG may damage circuitry.
•
Radiation Therapy – Ionizing energy commonly used to treat cancer. Lead shielding should be used over the IPG to
prevent damage from high radiation. Any damage to the DBS IPG by radiation may not be known right away.
•
Transcranial Stimulation – The use of electric or magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Safe use of these
therapies in DBS patients has not been established.
•
X-ray and CT scans may damage the IPG if stimulation is on. X-ray and CT scans are unlikely to damage the DBS IPG
if stimulation is turned off.
If any of the above is needed, the procedure(s) should be performed as far from the implanted components as possible. The
DBS System may need to be removed as a result of severe injury or damage to the device.
Before having these procedures, medical therapies, or diagnostics, have your healthcare provider call the Boston Scientific
Technical Support department for proper instructions. Or have them refer to the guidance provided in the Information for
Prescribers manual.
