Intraoperative Stimulation Testing

The External Trial Stimulator, OR Cable, OR Cable Extension, and Clinician
Programmer (CP) are used to conduct intraoperative stimulation testing during the
procedure. The OR Cable Extension is designed for temporary connection to the
OR Cable to facilitate stimulation testing outside of the sterile field.
Note: The following steps are for procedural reference only. Please refer to the
DBS Programming Manual for detailed stimulation testing procedures and
guidelines.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the OR Cable connector or plug in water or other
liquids. The OR Cable is intended for one-time use only; do not
resterilize.
1. Attach the OR Cable Extension to the OR Cable.
2. Verify that the External Trial Stimulator is off.
WARNING: Always turn the External Trial Stimulator off before connecting or
disconnecting the Cable Assemblies to prevent unexpected stimulation.
3. Plug the OR Cable into the External Trial Stimulator socket labeled "1-L." If two
DBS Leads are being used, connect the left DBS Lead to socket "1-L" and the
right DBS Lead to socket "2-R."
