The Restore Neurostimulation System is intended to provide electrical stimulation to relieve severe, intractable pain. Restore Neurostimulation System indications, contraindications, risks and benefits, warnings, precautions, and individualization of treatment information is located in the Model 37742 Patient Programmer: Pain Therapy User Manual.Warnings•DO NOT use the recharger on an unhealed wound. The recharger, antenna, and belt are not sterile, and contact with the wound can cause an infection.

Electric shock, serious injury, or death may result.Precautions•Charge the neurostimulator when you see a low battery ( ) screen on the patient programmer or recharger; this prevents the battery from overdischarging (see glossary). If the neurostimulator battery is allowed to overdischarge, charging is not possible; however, the clinician may be able to restore the battery function.Allowing the neurostimulator battery to overdischarge will permanently affect the neurostimulator in one of the following ways:–Battery function is restored; however, charging sessions may be more frequent because battery capacity has been reduced.–Battery function is not restored, and the neurostimulator must be surgically

The battery in your recharger is similar to the rechargeable batteries commonly found in electronic devices. The battery typically lasts for approximately 5 years, depending upon your therapy needs and how often you use your recharger.Rechargeable batteries lose some of their power every day, even when not used. Charging sessions restore power to the recharger battery.Caution:•Charge the neurostimulator when you see a low battery ( ) screen on the patient programmer or recharger; this prevents
