8.2.5 TransLoc Electrode
TransLoc Electrode Preparation (Surgical)
• After the TransLoc electrodes have been implanted into the diaphragm and tunneled
through the skin, the proximal end of the electrode requires preparation before it can
be connected to the FrictionLoc connector.
• The suture between the tunneling needle and the conductive pin must be cut.

• Cut the suture approximately half way between the tunneling needle and the
conductive pin, leaving the silicon protective tube covering the conductive pin.
• The silicon protective tube will remain on the conductive pin until it is ready to use
in the ICU.
