3. Visually check to ensure that the DBS Lead electrodes are aligned with the DBS Extension
contacts. If they are not aligned, continue to grip the DBS Lead next to the Retention Sleeve
and push to advance the electrodes into alignment with the DBS Extension contacts. If
necessary, back out the lead slightly and then advance the electrodes into alignment again,
until proper alignment can be confirmed.
Note: Be sure to fully insert the DBS Lead into the connector so that the retention sleeve
is located under the setscrew.
4. Do not tighten the Setscrew at this time.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to connect the second DBS Lead to the second DBS Extension.
6. Test the impedance of the connection to ensure that you have properly aligned the DBS Lead
within the DBS Extension connector. See "Intraoperative Testing" in the appropriate lead
implant DFU as listed on your DBS Reference Guide.
