Lead Connection To Splitter - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Mode D'emploi

Precision™ Spinal Cord Stimulator System Clinician Manual
10. Advance the lead to the appropriate vertebral level under fluoroscopic guidance. A sufficient
length of lead (at least 10 cm, or approximately three vertebrae) should reside in the
epidural space to aid in lead stabilization.
11. Continue to "Connecting the OR Cable Assembly" on page 28.

Lead Connection to Splitter

1. Carefully withdraw the stylets from the leads to be inserted into the splitter.
2. Wipe clean the proximal connector ends of the leads.
3. Select the desired splitter model.
Note: A Splitter 2x8 must be used when implanting the Infinion™ 16 lead.
4. Check that the lead connector end can be easily inserted into the splitter without
obstruction. If obstruction is encountered, loosen the set screws of the splitter by using the
hex wrench provided, turning counterclockwise.
Note: • The set screw should only be loosened to an amount sufficient to insert a lead.
• Do not excessively loosen the set screw. This may cause the set screw to dislodge
rendering the splitter unusable.
5. Insert proximal connector ends of desired leads into splitter receptacles until they are fully
seated – each lead bottoms out in receptacles and retention sleeves (long ring) are under
the setscrew blocks of the splitter receptacles. Do not tighten set screw at this time.
6. Continue to "Connecting the OR Cable Assembly" on page 28, then proceed to step 7
below.
7. Check connections with an impedance measurement. If the impedance is satisfactory,
proceed to "Intraoperative Stimulation Testing" on page 30 to confirm proper lead
location.
Note: Do not tighten set screw mechanical lock before intra-operative stimulation testing.
Note: On the 2x4 Splitter, the shorter splitter receptacle corresponds to contacts 1-4, while the
longer receptacle corresponds to contacts 5-8. Make note of which lead is connected to
each splitter receptacle.
Note: On the Splitter 2x8, one tail is laser-marked with bands, and corresponds to contacts
1-8 on the 16-contact percutaneous lead; the unmarked tail corresponds to contacts
9-16.
