Note: The following Codman Disposable Catheter Passers may be used in place of the Boston
Scientific tunneling tool:
REF 82-1515 (36 cm); REF 82-1516 (55 cm); REF 82-1517 (65 cm)
Note: When using a Codman Disposable Catheter Passer, tunnel from the IPG pocket to the
midline incision using the standard technique.

Connecting the Lead Extension

1. Wipe clean the proximal end of the lead, then insert the proximal end into the lead extension connector
or splitter until it stops and the retention ring (long ring) is under the setscrew.
Note: If there appears to be an obstruction when inserting the lead into the lead extension
connector, use the hex wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the setscrew and/or gently
rotate the lead to help advance the proximal end.
2. Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the set screw to prevent lead damage.
3. Using the hex wrench supplied, turn the extension connector setscrew clockwise until it clicks,
indicating lock.
Note: Ensure that the hex wrench is fully seated in the setscrew before tightening.
Note: The hex wrench is torque-limited and cannot be overtightened.
4. Form an appropriately-sized pocket using blunt dissection on either side of midline for coiled excess
lead and extension connectors.
