cut the DBS Lead.

4. Using the Torque Wrench, remove and discard the Lead Boot.

Connecting the DBS Lead to the DBS Extension
DBS Extension
1. Check to ensure that the Setscrew is not restricting the entry port on the DBS Extension
connector by unscrewing the Setscrew one to two turns with the Torque Wrench. Grip the DBS
Lead next to the Retention Sleeve.
Note: The retention sleeve is easily distinguishable from the contacts by its extended
length.
2. Push the DBS Lead into the DBS Extension connector until the DBS Lead electrodes line up
with the DBS Extension contacts. Some resistance may be felt as each electrode enters into
the DBS Extension Connector. You should be able view the DBS Lead electrodes as they pass
through the DBS Extension Connector. Some additional resistance may be felt as the last
electrode aligns into place.
