Lead Connection to Splitter
1. Carefully withdraw the stylets from the leads to be inserted into the splitter.
2. Wipe clean the proximal connector ends of the leads.
3. Select the desired splitter model.
Note: A Splitter 2x8 must be used when implanting the Infinion 16 lead.
4. Check that the lead connector end can be easily inserted into the splitter without obstruction. If
obstruction is encountered, loosen the set screws of the splitter by using the hex wrench provided,
turning counterclockwise.
Note:
• The set screw should only be loosened to an amount sufficient to insert a lead.
•
Do not excessively loosen the set screw. This may cause the set screw to dislodge
rendering the splitter unusable.
5. Insert proximal connector ends of desired leads into splitter receptacles until they are fully seated -
each lead bottoms out in receptacles and retention sleeves (long ring) are under the set screw blocks
of the splitter receptacles. Do not tighten set screw at this time.
6. Proceed to instructions to connect the leads to the OR Cable Assembly, as follows:
SCS System
Precision SCS System
Precision SCS System with
MultiWave Technology
Precision Spectra SCS System
Precision Novi SCS System
7. Check connections with an impedance measurement. If the impedance is satisfactory proceed to
"Intraoperative Stimulation Testing" on page 11 to confirm proper lead location.
Note: Do not tighten set screw mechanical lock before intraoperative stimulation testing,
Note: On the 2x4 Splitter, the shorter splitter receptacle corresponds to contacts 1-4, while the
longer receptacle corresponds to contacts 5-8. Make note of which lead is connected to
each splitter receptacle.
Note: On the Splitter 2x8, one tail is laser-marked with bands, and corresponds to contacts 1-8 on
the 16 contact percutaneous leads; the unmarked tail corresponds to contacts 9-16.
