Note: • If a port plug is used, it is still
necessary to tighten the setscrew on
the port plug, as described above.
• The hex wrench is torque-limited
and cannot be overtightened.
3. Place the IPG in the subcutaneous pocket
with label facing towards the skin.
4. Coil excess lead, extension or splitter
under the IPG.
CAUTION: Do not excessively bend
the Splitter 2x8 receptacle. Bending the
receptacle at a radius tighter than 2"
(5 cm) may result in loss of stimulation via
one or more contacts. Ensure the correct
lengths of leads are selected to prevent
excessive coiling.
5. Secure the IPG in the pocket by suturing
through the holes in the IPG header.
6. Close and dress the wound(s).
Connecting to the IPG
Programming with the
Infinion™ 16 Lead
For detailed programming instructions,
refer to the appropriate Bionic Navigator™
Software Guide. When the Infinion™ 16
lead is used with the Splitter 2x8 and placed
properly into the Precision™ IPG ports
(laser-marked tail of Splitter 2x8 connecting
to IPG port "1-L"), the distal 8 contacts
of the Infinion™ 16 lead (contacts 1-8)
will correspond with contacts 1-8 on the
left side of the Bionic Navigator software
display. Likewise, the proximal 8 contacts
of the Infinion™ 16 lead (contacts 9-16) will
correspond with contact 9-16 on the right side
of the Bionic Navigator software display.
