Complications, Adverse Events
Complications associated with cortical stimulators may occur during the use of this
device. Complications include, but are not limited to: pain, infection, burns, neurological
complications, mechanical or electrical failure and complications associated with

Testing
Integra recommends testing the unit prior to any surgical procedures. Rotate the handle
by pressing the two buttons on the sides and set the device to a viewable angle. Toggle
the Power switch to the ON position. All three green Battery Level LEDs should be
illuminated. If all the LEDs do not illuminate, please consult the battery replacement
instructions in this manual for battery substitution. Set the Range switch to the LOW
position. Turn the LOW range mA PEAK knob to zero. Set the Volume control up to
about half way. Press and hold the Output switch to the Check Current position. This
places the internal load across the output, and displays the current output on the front
panel LCD.
Notice
The stimulator does not regulate until the mA PEAK control is set above 0.2 mA.
Slowly rotate the LOW range mA PEAK knob clockwise. There should be no value
displayed in the Output Current window or audible tone until 0.1mA PEAK is reached.
At this point, the Output Current window will display the selected value and the audio
tone shall activate. Repeat this procedure with the Range switch in the FULL position
and the FULL range mA PEAK knob.
Notice
The stimulator does not regulate at output impedances above 2000Ω at max setting.
