Implanting the neurostimulator

1. Place the neurostimulator into the subcutaneous pocket with the Medtronic logo facing
outward, away from muscle tissue, and ensure that the extension or lead is not bent
sharply.
#
Cautions:
Ensure that the neurostimulator is placed no deeper than 4 cm (1.5 in) below the
■
skin and is parallel to the skin. If the neurostimulator is too deep or is not parallel
to the skin, telemetry may be unsuccessful.
Do not coil excess extensions or leads in front of the neurostimulator. Wrap
■
excess extensions or leads around the perimeter (Figure 3) or behind the
neurostimulator to help minimize potential damage during neurostimulator
replacement surgery, help minimize potential kinking of the extension or lead,
and minimize interference with telemetry.
