Anybody done RFAs on a patient with an Inspire? Anything that needs to be done before hand (other than pt turning off the device) or things to be aware of? TIA

Yes, I have. A cervical in fact. Just positioned the grounding pad away from can. There is a coiled wire that looks like it is in the way but it is in the anterior neck.

Motor stim on that side and see if you can get their tongue to twitch 😀
