SUGGESTED PROCEDURE
Placement of the depth electrodes may be accomplished through a variety of surgical techniques.
The surgeon is advised to use a surgical technique according to his/her standard practice.
Inserting Connector Cable Pins into an EEG Monitor
1. The connector cables have up to 12 gold plated connector pins numbered 1-12 that correspond to the electrode contacts
1-12 when the electrode and cable are joined properly (see Section 2). These pins are to be plugged into the corresponding
EEG monitor input channels (see EEG monitor manufacturer's instructions).
Inserting a Cylindrical Depth Electrode Connector into a Cable Connector
2a. Align either of two white locator dots on the cable connector thumb screw with the dot on the top of the cable connector
block (Fig. A).
2b. With the cable connector in the "LOAD" position, insert the electrode connector into the hole located opposite the
thumb screw. Visually confirm electrode/cable contact alignment through the top of the connector cap (the tip electrode
contact should align with the first pair of gold contacts on the thumb screw end of the cable connector) (Fig. B).
2c. Lock the electrode in place by turning the thumb screw in either direction until a distinct click is felt. The locator dots will
now rest in the horizontal position (Fig. C). When the electrode is properly placed and the thumb screw is in the horizontal
lock position, a locking mechanism is engaged to prevent accidental separation of the two components.
