Page 5: Manual Overview
Manual Overview Manual Overview This manual provides basic information for the trial, implantation, and operation of the Boston Scientific Precision Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) system. General surgical guidelines are presented in this manual for temporary and permanent implantation of Boston Scientific percutaneous leads, lead extensions, splitters, surgical paddle leads, and implantable pulse generator (IPG). -

Each contact is 3 mm in length and is spaced 1 mm from the adjacent contact. The Infinion 16 lead must be inserted into a Splitter 2x8 which then connects to a Precision IPG’s 8 contact ports or 8 contact OR Cables. -
Page 7: Lead Extension
Device and Product Description Lead Extension Lead Extensions are designed to connect the percutaneous and paddle leads to the Precision IPG for spinal cord stimulation. The extension may be added to a lead to externalize the lead for a trial procedure or to extend the lead when a permanent IPG is implanted. -

Precision™ Spinal Cord Stimulator System Clinician Manual Indications for Use The Boston Scientific Precision Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) System is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with the following: •... - Page 9 Eleven studies were identified based on the detailed inclusion/exclusion criteria to demonstrate the safety of the PRECISION System. The studies included a total of 1056 patients that were trialed with SCS systems and 880 patients that received implants. The table below depicts the number of patients, the number of events, and the percentage of occurrences of each event compared to the total number of patients.
- Page 10 5.1% Clinical Experience-Safety Clinical data has been collected during a clinical study of the PRECISION System. As of January 15, 2004, 35 subjects were enrolled in the study at multiple sites and 26 subjects had a successful trial stimulation period and were implanted with the PRECISION System.
- Page 11 Neurosurgery, 46:399-406, 2000. Subperception Therapy – Clinical Summary Determination of the safety and effectiveness of the Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) Systems for subperception therapy was based on a prospective, randomized, multicenter, crossover study with the primary endpoint of responder rate (proportion of subjects with 50% or greater improvement in overall pain) at 3 month post-device activation.
- Page 12 Precision™ Spinal Cord Stimulator System Clinician Manual At the end of the crossover period, subjects were asked to choose between supra-perception and subperception settings. Of the 70 subjects included in the primary effectivenss cohort, 53 subjects (76%) chose subperception whereas only 17 (24%) chose supra-perception as their preferred treatment settings.

Questions and answers
the best way to use the Boston Scientific patch on the charger
Use the Boston Scientific Precision Charger with the adhesive patch or Charging Belt as shown in the instructions. Failure to do so may result in a burn. If pain or discomfort occurs, stop charging and contact Boston Scientific.

@Mr. Anderson this is good to know, as I was not told about the possibility of being burned... I can see how that could happen, but admittedly, my "charger" usually turns off way before a temperature that could burn, and even with the sticker thing, it could burn if you're sitting/laying down, I'm sure. Mine gets very hot using it with the sticker if it is covered. Well, by very hot I mean, very warm to the touch - hot enough to power off the charger and leave me wondering whether it has been off for a long time or not. Anyway, thanks for the warning. Just thought I would add on some, since I have apparently been doing everything wrong until now. Maybe it'll help someone else.
