Patient Registry to Study the Tined Lead Used With the InterStim System For Urinary Control

The purpose of this study is assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the InterStim tined lead using a minimally invasive approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed and dated informed consent

• Willing and able to complete voiding diaries and questionnaires at various time points during the study

• Subjects with knowledge of planned magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diathermy, microwave, high output ultrasonics, ultrasound scanning, or radiofrequency (RF) energy
• Mechanical obstruction such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, cancer, or urethral stricture
• Symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI). Upon completion of therapy for UTI, or if the subject is receiving prophylaxis for UTI, subjects can be considered for test stimulation or the full system implant (whichever is applicable) if symptom free for one month prior to the procedure.
• Subjects with other implantable neurostimulators, pacemakers, or defibrillators
• Primary stress incontinence or mixed incontinence where the stress component overrides the urge component
• Active participation in another clinical study
