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 connections 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.
#
Caution: Do not insert the extension or lead connector into the connector block if
the setscrews are not sufficiently retracted. If the setscrews are not retracted, the
setscrews may damage the extension or lead and the extension or lead will not be
seated fully into the connector block.
