What should I do about my pain medication?

It’s possible you’ll be able to stop or decrease your pain medication; however, your doctor will provide guidance on adjustments to your pain medication.

FAQ toggle button

How often will I need to charge?

Charging will usually take 30 minutes daily but can vary depending on your settings. Most people choose to charge based on a routine that fits their lifestyle, like when they’re watching TV.

The battery level indicator on your HFX App will send you a notification when your battery level is low and needs recharging. You can also see your current battery level at the bottom of your home screen

FAQ toggle button

FAQ toggle button

Can I drive or sleep with HFX on?

Yes, HFX offers programs that can be used while driving or sleeping.

FAQ toggle button

Can I fly with HFX? What happens when I go through airport security?

Yes, you can fly if you first confirm your doctor is OK with it. Remember to keep your charger in your carry-on luggage in case you need it.

Like people with a pacemaker, when you go through security, you’ll let them know you have an implanted device, and they will direct you to the appropriate place. You may be escorted around the security machine or occasionally, they may need you to go through the security machine. If this happens, turn your stimulation OFF using your HFX App and go through the security machine. Once on the other side, use your HFX App to turn your device ON for your flight.

FAQ toggle button

Do international data charges apply to my HFX App if I travel?

Yes, there will be international charges based on your existing data plan.
