12. Place an anchor over the lead and ensure correct location.
13. Secure the anchor to the appropriate tissue.
CauTioN: Do not suture directly onto the lead or use a hemostat on the lead body, as this
may damage the lead.
14. Secure the lead with a suture sleeve by tightening the sleeve around the lead with a non-
absorbable suture.
OR
If using the Clik™ Anchor to secure the lead, follow the instructions in the Clik anchor DFU.
15. If connecting the lead to an extension, follow the instructions in the "Connecting the
Lead Extension" section of the Precision SCS Clinician Manual. (NOTE: Any reference to
midline incision should be replaced with "anchor incision.")
16. Create a subcutaneous tunnel between the midline incision and the exit site until the straw
is visible and accessible at the exit point. Refer to the instructions in the "Tunneling the
Lead or Lead Extension" sub-section of "Permanent Lead Anchoring and Tunneling"
in the Precision SCS Clinician Manual. (NOTE: Any reference to midline incision should be
replaced with "anchor incision.")
17. If performing a permanent Trial, perform steps 1-11 of the "Intraoperative Stimulation
Testing" procedure in the Precision SCS Clinician Manual.
OR
If performing a permanent implant, program and activate the IPG using the instructions in
the BionicNavigator™ Software Guide.
Lead Explant/Revision
If explanting a Trial Lead, refer to "Removal of Trial Leads, Extensions and Splitters" in the
Precision SCS Clinician Manual with modifications to the following steps:
• Step 3: To replace the trial lead(s) with permanent percutaneous lead(s), proceed to the
instructions for "Percutaneous Lead Placement for Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
(PNS)" in the PNS addendum.
• Step 4 in the "Removal of Trial Leads, Extensions and Splitters" section of the Precision
SCS Clinician Manual should be disregarded.
If explanting a permanent implant, the following section replaces the "Removal of Trial Leads,
Extensions and Splitters" in the Precision SCS Clinician Manual.
1. Using standard surgical technique, re-open the implant wound.
CauTioN: avoid damaging the lead when cutting down to the anchoring site.
