4. Do not tighten the Setscrew at this time.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to connect the second DBS Lead to the second DBS
Extension.
6. Test the impedance of the connection to ensure that you have properly aligned
the DBS Lead within the DBS Extension connector. Use the External Trial
Stimulator, OR Cable, OR Cable Extension, and Clinician Programmer (CP)
to test the impedance. The OR Cable Extension is designed for temporary
connection to the OR Cable to facilitate stimulation testing outside of the sterile
field.
Note: The following steps are for procedural reference only. Please refer to the
DBS Programming Manual for detailed impedance testing procedures and
guidelines.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the OR Cable connector or plug in water or other
liquids. The OR Cable is intended for one-time use only; do not
resterilize.
7. Attach the OR Cable Extension to the OR Cable.
8. Verify that the External Trial Stimulator is off.
WARNING: Always turn the External Trial Stimulator off before connecting or
disconnecting the Cable Assemblies to prevent unexpected stimulation.
9. Plug the OR Cable into the External Trial Stimulator socket labeled "1-L." If two
DBS Leads are being used, connect the left DBS Lead to socket "1-L" and the
right DBS Lead to socket "2-R."
10. Verify impedances are acceptable by using the CP or Remote Control to measure
monopolar impedances.
If using the CP, high impedance contacts will contain a red X. If using the Remote
Control, high impedance contacts are represented by hollow rectangles.
Note: If using the Remote Control, press ▼ to view the impedance values.
