Physician Manual
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 DBS Lead.
6. 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.
7. Check impedances to verify connections before tightening the Setscrew.
CAUTION: Verify proper DBS Extension insertion by checking impedances before
tightening the Setscrew. Tightening the Setscrew down onto a contact
can damage the DBS Extension.
8. Pass the Torque Wrench through the slit in the septum located on the top of the
DBS Extension connector.
9. Tighten the Setscrew in the DBS Extension connector until the Torque Wrench
clicks, indicating the Setscrew is fully secured.
