Limited Warranty – IPG
Rechargeable Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG)
Boston Scientific Corporation warrants to the patient who receives an implantable rechargeable
pulse generator (referred to as the Rechargeable IPG) that the Rechargeable IPG will be free from
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of five (5) years from the date of surgical implant
of the Rechargeable IPG. This warranty applies only to the patient who has the Rechargeable IPG
implanted and no other person or entity. This warranty does not apply to the leads, extensions, or
surgical accessories used with the Rechargeable IPG.
A Rechargeable IPG that fails to function within normal ranges within five (5) years after the date
it is implanted is covered under this Limited Warranty. The liability of Boston Scientific under this
warranty shall be limited to: (a) replacement of the Rechargeable IPG with a functionally equivalent
Rechargeable IPG made by Boston Scientific; or (b) credit applied towards the purchase of a
new IPG. The warranty amount is calculated using least expensive device price (original vs.
replacement). No other relief whatsoever is available under this limited warranty. This limited
warranty for a replacement Rechargeable IPG will last only for five (5) years from the date of
surgical implant of the original Rechargeable IPG.
Note: Battery life of a rechargeable IPG may vary due to a variety of factors. Therefore, this
warranty shall not extend to battery depletion of a rechargeable IPG unless such depletion
is caused by a defect in workmanship or material.
Claims under this limited warranty are subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:
1. The product registration card must be completed and returned to Boston Scientific within
30 days of surgery.
2. The Rechargeable IPG must be implanted before the "Use By" date.
3. Failure of the Rechargeable IPG must be confirmed by Boston Scientific.
4. The Rechargeable IPG must be returned to Boston Scientific (or a Boston Scientific authorized
agent) within 30 days after it fails to function within normal ranges. That Rechargeable IPG will
be the property of Boston Scientific.
5. The limited warranty does not include failures to function within normal ranges caused by:
(a). Fire, floods, lightning, natural disasters, water damage, and other calamities commonly
defined as "Acts of God";
(b). Accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, or the customer's failure to operate the
Rechargeable IPG in accordance with manufacturer's instructions;
(c). Unauthorized attempts to repair, maintain, or modify the Rechargeable IPG for the patient
or any unauthorized third party; or
(d). Attaching equipment to the Rechargeable IPG that is not supplied or expressly authorized
by Boston Scientific.
