1. Fully insert the lead(s), extension(s), splitter(s), and/or connector(s) into the IPG port(s), being careful
not to stress or bend the proximal end of the lead. When the lead is properly inserted, the lead will stop
and the retention ring will be located under the set screw.
2. Fully insert a port plug into unused IPG ports.
Note: If you experience difficulty when inserting the lead, lead extension, splitter, connector, or port plug,
use the hex wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the set screw and/or gently rotate the lead to help
advance the proximal end.
Note: To confirm good connections, check impedances before tightening the set screw. The IPG must be
in contact with the subcutaneous pocket in order to receive accurate impedance measurements.
3. Pass the hex wrench through the hole in the septum located on the front or back of the IPG header
and tighten each set screw until the hex wrench "clicks," indicating lock.
CAUTION: Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the set screw to prevent lead
damage
Note: If a port plug is used, it is still necessary to tighten the set screw on the port plug as described
above.
Note: The hex wrench is torque-limited and cannot be over-tightened.
4. Place the IPG in the subcutaneous pocket with logo marking facing up towards the skin.
5. Coil excess lead, extension, splitter, or connector under the IPG.
6. If desired, secure the IPG in the pocket by suturing through the holes in the IPG header.
CAUTION: Do not suture through the leads or splitter.
7. Close and dress the wound(s).
