Clik™ X MRI Anchor
Directions
1. After the lead has been placed in the optimal location, prepare to anchor the lead.
2. Remove Clik X MRI anchor from package and obtain hex wrench.
3. Place a suture through the supraspinous ligament or deep fascial tissue.
4. Dip Clik X MRI anchor in sterile water.
5. Slide anchor onto proximal end of lead with long end of anchor first.
Note: If needed, wet lead with additional sterile water. Ensure that only light pressure is used while
holding the anchor and rotate the anchor while advancing as necessary.
6. Slide anchor to appropriate location on lead. Make sure set screw port is facing up before placing
anchor.
OPTIONAL: For percutaneous leads, distal end of anchor can be inserted into fascia.
Note: If anchor is difficult to slide along lead, insert the hex wrench into the set screw port and turn
counterclockwise to back out the screw.
CAUTION: Do not excessively loosen the set screw. This may cause the set screw to dislodge.
Note: Ensure stylet is removed from the lead prior to anchoring.
7. Suture the anchor to the deep fascial tissue or supraspinous ligament using 2-0 silk or other
nonabsorbable suture. The eyelets may be used during this step.
CAUTION: Do not use polypropylene sutures as they may damage the anchor. Do not suture directly
onto the lead or use a hemostat on the lead body. This may damage the lead insulation.
8. Ensure set screw port is facing up. Insert the hex wrench into the set screw port and ensure hex
wrench is fully seated.
Note: Smooth DeBakey forceps are recommended to be used to hold the anchor in place while locking
the anchor.
