Charging the Stimulator Before Implantation

Prior to the implant procedure, charge the Stimulator fully. The approximate location of the
Stimulator is marked on the Stimulator kit. To charge the Stimulator, place the kit on a flat surface
with the Stimulator outline facing up. Turn on the Charger and place it over the Stimulator to begin
charging. The Charger will emit a series of double beeps when the Stimulator is fully charged. For
additional instructions on the Charger, follow the instructions in the appropriate charging manual as
listed on your DBS Reference Guide.

Stimulator Implantation

Exposing the DBS Lead

1. Palpate the DBS Lead Boot and DBS Lead under the scalp.
2. Mark and create an incision in the scalp to expose the Lead Boot. Be careful not to damage or
cut the DBS Lead.
3. Expose the DBS Lead and Lead Boot through the incision.
4. Using the Torque Wrench, remove and discard the Lead Boot.
Note: To loosen the setscrew, rotate the Torque Wrench counterclockwise. To tighten the
setscrew, rotate the Torque Wrench clockwise.
5. Dry the proximal end of the DBS Lead.

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.
