How to Determine If Your Device is Included in the St. Jude Spinal Cord Stimulator Recall

St. Jude Eon and Eon Mini Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) devices, used for pain management, have been recalled by the manufacturer due to:

• potential overheating
• potential battery failure

In a letter sent to physicians, St. Jude warned that battery failure may result in an interruption of the delivery of pain medication.  St. Jude also reported that several patients have experienced first or second degree burns from overheating.
