Spinal Cord Stimulation Brief Summary 

INDICATIONS Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs-including unilateral or bilateral pain. CONTRAINDICATIONS Diathermy - Energy from diathermy can be transferred through the implanted system and cause tissue damage resulting in severe injury or death. WARNINGS Sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., defibrillation, electrocautery, MRI, RF ablation, and therapeutic ultrasound) can interact with the system, resulting in unexpected changes in stimulation, serious patient injury or death. An implanted cardiac device (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillator) may damage a neurostimulator, and electrical pulses from the neurostimulator may cause inappropriate response of the cardiac device. Patients with diabetes may have more frequent and severe complications with surgery. A preoperative assessment is advised for some patients with diabetes to confirm they are appropriate candidates for surgery. PRECAUTIONS Safety and effectiveness has not been established for pediatric use, pregnancy, unborn fetus, or delivery. Avoid activities that put stress on the implanted neurostimulation system components. Recharging a rechargeable neurostimulator may result in skin irritation or redness near the implant site. ADVERSE EVENTS May include: undesirable change in stimulation (uncomfortable, jolting or shocking); hematoma, epidural hemorrhage, paralysis, seroma, infection, erosion, device malfunction or migration, pain at implant site, loss of pain relief, and other surgical risks. Adverse events may result in fluctuations in blood glucose in patients with diabetes. Refer to www. medtronic.com for product manuals for complete indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential adverse events. Rx only. Rev 0422

TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope Brief Statement 

The TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is intended to hold a vagus nerve stimulator, a spinal cord neuromodulator, a deep brain stimulator or a sacral nerve stimulator securely in order to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. The Neuro Antibacterial Envelope contains the antimicrobial agents Minocycline and Rifampin which, have been shown to reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial challenge following surgical implantation of a pulse generator. The Neuro Antibacterial Envelope is NOT indicated for use in patients who have an allergy or history of allergies to tetracyclines, Rifampin, or absorbable sutures. The Neuro Antibacterial Envelope is also NOT indicated for use in patients with contaminated or infected wounds, or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This device is intended to be used in conjunction with vagus nerve stimulators or deep brain stimulators implanted in the infraclavicular fossa, or in conjunction with spinal cord neuromodulators or sacral nerve stimulators implanted laterally to the body midline and slightly superior to the gluteal region. The use of this product in patients with compromised hepatic and renal function, or in the presence of hepatotoxic or renal toxic medications, should be considered carefully, because Minocycline and Rifampin can cause additional stress on the hepatic and renal systems. Patients who receive the Neuro Antibacterial Envelope and who are also taking methoxyflurane should be monitored carefully for signs of renal toxicity.

Last year, ADCES received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention toward work aimed at advancing access to diabetes education and prevention resources for those in underserved communities. In anticipation of updates on progress made thus far at this year's upcoming annual meeting, we're resharing a previous episode of The Huddle in which Angela Forfia from ADCES and Sarah Ann Piper from Emory Centers explained how this will come to life over the next 5 years.

The decision on whether to screen yourself or loved ones for Type 1 diabetes risk can be a very personal one. In the last episode of a three-part series, we're joined by Laura Smith PhD, CDCES and Holly O’Donnell, PhD as they discuss the psychosocial factors to consider when talking about T1D screening—including the reasons why a person may or may not want to be screened and how to talk to children and their families about what a potential diagnosis means for them.
