Connecting The Lead Extension - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Mode D'emploi

Connecting the Lead Extension

1. Wipe clean the proximal end of the lead, then insert the proximal end into the lead
extension connector or splitter until it stops and the retention ring (long ring) is under the
setscrew.
Note: If there appears to be an obstruction when inserting the lead into the lead extension
connector, use the hex wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the setscrew and/or gently
rotate the lead to help advance the proximal end.
2. Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the setscrew to prevent lead damage.
3. Using the hex wrench supplied, turn the extension connector setscrew clockwise until it
clicks, indicating lock.
Note: • Ensure that the hex wrench is fully seated in the setscrew before tightening.
• The hex wrench is torque-limited and cannot be overtightened.
4. Form an appropriately-sized pocket using blunt dissection on either side of midline for
coiled excess lead and extension connectors.
5. Place a small loop at the lead for slack. If necessary, loosely tie a suture around the lead-
loop, but do not tighten onto the lead.
CAUTION: Tightening sutures directly on the lead can damage the lead.
