Handbook

Using the Medical Equipment

Taking Care of Your Trial Equipment

All of the items that were sent home with

you from the hospital are important to your

trial success. So please follow the

instructions listed.

• Handle the Trial Stimulator and the

Remote Control with care. These

items are well-designed, quality-

tested electronic components.

However, they can be damaged if

they’re dropped on a hard surface.

• Never submerge the Trial Stimulator

or the Remote Control in water, or leave them outside in the rain, extreme heat, or extreme cold.

• Always turn off the Trial Stimulator, remove it from the belt pocket, and disconnect and secure

the leads before taking a sponge bath.

• Carry your Temporary Patient Identification card (given to you by your healthcare provider)

throughout the trial.

Note: This information covers most of what you need to be aware of during the trial. For additional

precautionary information, see “Safety Instructions” on page 22. Please read the section

carefully.
