a. Place the Stimulator partially in the subcutaneous pocket.
b. Test impedances using the Remote Control or Clinician Programmer.
4. Pass the Torque Wrench through the slit in the septum located on the side of the Stimulator
header.
5. Tighten the Setscrew in the Stimulator until the Torque Wrench clicks, indicating the Setscrew is
fully secured.
Note: To tighten the Setscrew, rotate the Torque Wrench clockwise. 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 Lead.
Note: If a port plug is used, it is still necessary to tighten the setscrew on the port plug as
described above.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to insert the second extension into the Stimulator header and to
tighten the second Stimulator Setscrew on the second DBS Extension. For a single lead
connection, insert the port plug into the second Stimulator port.
