Vercise™ DBS Lead Directions for Use
(c). Pass the Torque Wrench through the slit in the septum located on the top of the Lead Boot.
(d). Tighten the Setscrew until the Torque Wrench clicks, indicating the Setscrew is fully
secured.
Note: To tighten the Setscrew, use one hand to grasp the Lead Boot at the base and the other to
rotate the Torque Wrench clockwise until it clicks, indicating the Setscrew is fully secured
(Figure 11). To loosen the Setscrew, rotate the Torque Wrench counterclockwise.
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.
(e). Create a tunnel, for the proximal end of the DBS Lead, to a place closer to the desired
DBS Extension connector location.
CAUTION: Placement of the DBS Extension connector in the neck region can increase the
risk of device failure due to repetitive movement of the neck.
(f). Create a pocket under the skin for the excess DBS Lead and Lead Boot.
(g). Coil excess DBS Lead material under the scalp, in the pocket, until it is ready to be
connected to the DBS Extension.
Note: The DBS Lead may be connected to the DBS Extension and Stimulator during a separate
surgery at a later time. See "Stimulator Implantation" in the appropriate IPG DFU as listed
on your DBS Reference Guide.
7. Repeat the "Implanting the DBS Lead" procedure for the second DBS Lead. Use the Tunneling
Tool to tunnel the second DBS Lead to the same side as the first Lead.
8. Close the incisions.
