8. Support the OR Cable Connector to prevent unnecessary bending of the Lead during testing.
9. Verify that impedances are acceptable by using the Clinician Programmer or Remote Control.
10. Evaluate Lead placement by the appropriate methods. If necessary, adjust the Lead location or
stimulation parameters.
Note: The stylet should remain in place throughout insertion or adjustments of the DBS Lead.
High charge density can cause permanent tissue damage. The Clinician
Warning:
Programmer will limit the stimulation parameters to safe values.
Warning: Increasing the number of Lead penetrations increases the probability of
hemorrhage. To minimize acute Lead revisions, use techniques of target
localization, such as microelectrode recordings and/or imaging.
11. Turn off ETS 2.
A sudden increase in stimulation may occur if ETS 2 is ON while disconnecting

the OR Cables.
12. Slide the locking lever to the open (0) position. Disconnect the OR Cable Connector and
Extension from the proximal end of the DBS Lead.
13. Verify that the DBS Lead has not moved from the desired location.
