Implanting the DBS System

In the following instructions, the Standard Lead and the Directional Leads are collectively
referred to as the "DBS Lead," unless otherwise indicated. The SureTek Burr Hole Cover Kit
is recommended for use with the Boston Scientific DBS System. The DBS Lead implantation
procedure described in this manual includes the use of the Burr Hole Cover to anchor the DBS
Lead.
Use meticulous care during implantation of the Boston Scientific DBS System to prevent infection.
For additional information regarding recommended practices for the DBS procedure, see the
"References" section of this manual.
Note: Throughout this manual, the descriptors "proximal" and "distal" use the position of the ETS
or IPG as the reference point.
Pre‑Conditions
Leads
The DBS surgical procedures described in this manual begin with implantation of the DBS Lead. It
is assumed that the following procedures have been completed:
• The stereotactic frame and/or fiducials of a frameless system are attached to the patient.
• The incision in the scalp has been made and the burr hole drilled. The SureTek
Hole Cover is compatible with a 14 mm diameter burr hole.
• The desired trajectory and DBS Lead depth has been determined and verified by
appropriate means.
Note: Review the Technical Specifications for the DBS Leads, included in this manual,
when considering trajectory and target depth. Do not apply fixation mechanism
within array regions including the distal length.
Implantable Pulse Generator (Rechargeable Stimulators Only)
The IPG should be fully charged before the implantation procedure if applicable. Follow the steps
below to charge the IPG fully:
• Identify the grey dot or IPG outline marked on the IPG kit. This grey dot or IPG outline
indicates the location of the IPG within the packaging.
• Place the IPG Kit on a flat surface with the grey dot or IPG outline facing up.
• Turn on the Charger and place it over the IPG to begin charging. Once powered on, the
Charger will begin beeping until it is properly aligned with the IPG and charging. The
Charger will emit a series of double beeps when the IPG is fully charged. For additional
instructions on the Charger, refer to the appropriate Charging Manual as listed in the
DBS Reference Guide.
