Caution: Do not implant a neurostimulator if it was dropped onto a hard surface from a
height of 30 cm (12 in) or more, because the neurostimulator may be damaged and fail to
operate properly.
Note: The neurostimulator pocket may be flushed with an antibiotic solution; do not submerge
the neurostimulator in fluid.

Connecting the extension or lead to the neurostimulator

#
Caution: Before connecting components, wipe off any body fluids and dry all
connections. Fluids in the connection may result in stimulation at the connection site,
intermittent stimulation, or loss of stimulation.
1. Wipe the extension or lead connector pins with sterile gauze. If necessary, use sterile
(United States Pharmacopeia [USP]) water or a nonionic antibiotic solution.
2. Make sure the connector block receptacles are dry and clean.
3. Insert the appropriate extension or lead connector pins into the appropriate
neurostimulator socket until they are seated fully within the connector block (Figure 1).
Notes:
During insertion, some resistance is typical.
■
To retract the setscrews, insert the torque wrench into the self-sealing grommet and
■
rotate the setscrews counterclockwise; however, do not remove the setscrews from the
connector block.
