Intraoperative Stimulation Testing - Boston Scientific SC-3138 Série Mode D'emploi

5. Advance the lead to the desired location.
6. Once the Paddle lead is at the appropriate vertebral level, use standard technique to identify leads and
proceed to the instructions for Connecting to the OR Cable as follows:

Intraoperative Stimulation Testing

Note: The following steps are for procedural reference only. For detailed stimulation testing procedures
and guidelines:
• If using the Precision System or the Precision with MultiWave Technology System, please refer to
the Bionic Navigator™ Software Guide.
• If using the Precision Spectra System or Precision Novi System, please refer to the Bionic
Navigator 3D Programming Manual.
1. After linking the Clinician Programmer to the Trial Stimulator, check impedances to verify that
components are properly connected. Lead impedance is measured and displayed for each of the 16
contacts on the Precision, Precision with MultiWave Technology or Precision Novi IPG or for each of
the 32 contacts on the Precision Spectra IPG. Impedances, indicated by an X on your Bionic Navigator
software or indicated by an orange circle on the Bionic Navigator 3D Programmer software, are
considered to be resultant from open or unconnected wires.
2. Using test stimulation, enlist patient feedback to verify lead placement and pain coverage.
Note: If lead repositioning is necessary, turn stimulation off before proceeding.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if the lead has been repositioned.
4. When the desired stimulation is achieved:
a) Turn the Trial Stimulator off.
b) Unlock each OR cable connector and disconnect from the lead(s).
5. Record the lead position by capturing a fluoroscopic image to be sure the leads have not moved.
Retest if necessary.
