D4 and W4 Splitter 2x4 Programming Guide
Diagram 1
The stimulator port to which the Splitter is
connected will determine whether the Bionic
Navigator will represent the Splitter's contacts
in the left or right column in programming
screens.

Directions for Use

Recording Splitter Names
Users may want to name Areas and/or
Programs in such a way that will help other
users recognize the use of the Splitter during
subsequent programming sessions.
Area names, for example, may reflect the
use of a Splitter and refer to the anatomical
location of the intended treatment area (e.g.,
"SPLeftFt" to signify "Splitter, left foot").

Suggested Programming Techniques
Many lead configurations and stimulation
patterns may be created with the use of
Splitters. This section provides examples
of typical configurations and suggested
programming techniques.
Three-Lead Placement (bilaterally guarded
midline lead)
1. Connect two Linear Leads to a D4 Splitter
2x4.
2. Connect the Splitter to port 1L of the IPG.
3. Connect a third Linear Lead directly into
port 2R of the IPG.
4. If possible, take a fluoroscopic image of
the implanted leads. If the contacts are
exactly in lateral alignment as in the top
of Diagram 2, then assign anodes and a
cathode as shown on bottom of Diagram
2. If a fluoroscopic image cannot be taken
or if the contacts are off-set, e.g., as in
the top of Diagram 3, then assign anodes
and a cathode as shown on the bottom of
Diagram 3.
5. First, program the Linear Lead that is
connected directly to the stimulator. This
may be done using the E-Troll function, if
desired.
6. Then, in the Manual screen, assign
anodes on the Leads that are connected
to the Splitter.
