Photo - Eon Mini™ Neurostimulator compared in size to a man’s watch (High Resolution) St. Jude Medical, Inc., a global medical device company, has received regulatory approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) of the Eon Mini™ spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system. The world’s smallest, longest-lasting rechargeable neurostimulator (approximately the size of a man’s watch), the Eon Mini device is the first rechargeable spinal cord stimulator to be approved for use in Japan. Spinal cord stimulators manage chronic pain of the trunk or limbs and pain from failed back surgery by delivering mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, which interrupt or mask the pain signals’ transmission to the brain.

Indications for Use
Chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and limbs.
Contraindications
Demand-type cardiac pacemakers, patients who are unable to operate the system or who fail to receive effective pain relief during trial stimulation.
Warnings/Precautions
Diathermy therapy, cardioverter defibrillators, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), explosive or flammable gases, theft detectors and metal screening devices, lead movement, operation of machinery and equipment, postural changes, pediatric use, pregnancy and case damage. Patients who are poor surgical risks, with multiple illnesses, or with active general infections should not be implanted.
Adverse Events
Painful stimulation, loss of pain relief, surgical risks (e.g., paralysis). Product technical manual must be reviewed prior to use for detailed disclosure.
Caution: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale and use by or on the order of a physician.
