Nuvectra, Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System Clinical Programmer, Model 4500. For use with Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation Systems. The version of the software in the Clinician Programmer is v1.1.5. The Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation system consists of a stimulator (EPG or IPG) that is physically and electrically connected to one or more leads inserted into the patient¿¿"s spinal epidural space. The lead delivers electrical stimulation originating at the stimulator with the purpose of blocking pain signals going to the patient¿¿"s brain. The stimulators are rechargeable, and the frequency of recharging is dependent on individual patient¿¿"s use of the system. The Clinician Programmer (CP) is a hand-held, touch screen device used to create and adjust stimulation parameters that are developed to optimize the therapy for each patient. The CP communicates with the stimulator via the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS). The CP wirelessly transfers the stimulation parameters to the stimulator. In most clinical settings, the CP can be used by the Health Care Professional to program multiple patient EPGs and IPGs

Nuvectra

Class I - Dangerous

If used, the optional Swap feature copies programming parameters from the external pulse generator (EPG) as well as unintended calibration data to the implantable pulse generator (lPG). This may result in the user being unable to recharge the lPG. This safety notice only applies to CPs Model 4500.

Toshiba American Medical Systems Celesteion, Item Code: PCA-9000A/2, 9000A/3B, 9000A/2B This system is designed to acquire CT images, PET images, and fusion images (superimposed PET and CT images). The images that can be acquired include planar images (for any position and from any direction) and volume images (3D images) of the whole human body (including the head). The CT images provide morphological information showing the positional relationships between the lesion and adjacent tissues, while the PET images provide functional information based on the uptake of the injected radioisotope.
