6. Visually check to ensure that the DBS Lead electrodes are aligned with the DBS
Extension contacts. If they are not aligned, continue to grip the DBS Lead next to the
Retention Sleeve and push to advance the electrodes into alignment with the DBS
Extension contacts. If necessary, back out the Lead slightly and then advance the
electrodes into alignment again, until proper alignment can be confirmed.
7. Check impedances to verify connections before tightening the Setscrew.
CAUTION: Verify proper DBS Extension insertion by checking impedances before
tightening the Setscrew. Tightening the Setscrew down onto a contact can
damage the DBS Extension.
8. Pass the Torque Wrench through the slit in the septum located on the top of the DBS
Extension connector.
9. Tighten the Setscrew in the DBS Extension connector until the Torque Wrench clicks,
indicating the Setscrew is fully secured.
CAUTION: The wrench is torque limiting, such that the Setscrew cannot be over
tightened. Use only the wrench provided, as other tools may over‑tighten
the Setscrew and damage the DBS Lead.
Note: To tighten the Setscrew, use one hand to grasp the Extension at the base and the
other to rotate the Torque Wrench clockwise. To loosen the Setscrew, rotate the
Torque Wrench counterclockwise.
