Your doctor may limit your driving, at least initially, to avoid putting
undue strain on your wounds.
5.0 LIVING WITH YOUR OPTIMIZER SMART
MINI IPG
5.1
You will be able to feel your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG beneath
the skin. Normal body movement will cause no harm to it or the
attached leads. However, it is important that you not try to move
or turn your implanted IPG. It has been implanted with a specific
orientation to the skin to ensure proper communication with the
Intelio Programmer and your Vesta Charger.
5.2
Once the wounds from your surgery are healed, you can expect to
resume your normal activities, including sexual intimacy. Your
implanted OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is unaffected by walking,
bending over, or other normal daily activities.
5.3
Prescription medications, taken as directed, have no effect upon
the proper operation of your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
In general, the implantation of your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG
should not require you to alter the use of any medication.
5.4
In general, household appliances in good repair and personal
communication devices held 25 cm (10 in) or more from your
implanted OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG should not affect its
operation. However, you should be cautious when in the vicinity of
devices that generate strong electrical or magnetic fields. For
example, interference may occur from some electric razors,
electric power tools, and electrical ignition systems, including
those used on gasoline-powered equipment. In general, gasoline-
powered equipment may be operated provided that protective
hoods, shrouds, and other shielding are not removed.
