These products are designed to be percutaneously or surgically implanted for use with the PrecisionTM Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) System to aid in the management of chronic intractable pain. Information on other system components and their operation can be found in the Physician Systems Handbook. General surgical guidelines are presented for temporary and permanent implantation of leads and extensions. Product Description Lead The lead functions as a component of the Precision system by delivering electrical stimulation to the nerve structures in the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord, resulting in an inhibition of pain sensation. Model SC 2108 has eight electrodes located near the distal end. Each electrode is 3 mm in length and is spaced 1 mm from the adjacent electrode. The lead body is made of medical grade polyurethane with a stiffer proximal end to aid insertion into the connector. To aid in intraoperative testing and positioning, a curved stylet is pre-inserted Physician Lead Manual into the lead. The lead can be connected to either an extension or directly to an implantable pulse generator (IPG). Lead Extension Lead Extension Model SC 3108 is designed to connect the Lead Model SC 2108 to the Advanced Bionics Precision implantable pulse generator for spinal cord stimulation. The extension may be added to Introduction a lead to externalize the lead for a trial phase or to extend a lead when a permanent IPG is implanted. Indications for Use The Lead Model SC 2108, when used in conjunction with Advanced Bionics External Trial Stimulator Model SC 5100 or IPG Model SC 1100, is indicated for the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and limbs utilizing spinal cord stimulation. The therapy is generally most effective in patients who suffer neuropathic pain. Careful patient selection, therefore, is an important factor in achieving efficacious outcomes. It is recommended that patients be screened for psychological factors that could reduce the likelihood of therapeutic success. (Specific information regarding patient selection is included in the Physician Systems Handbook.) Most successful outcomes occur with the following: • Identifiable pathology • Pain of neuropathic origin Physician Lead Manual • Psychological screening • Patient understanding of risks, benefits and limitations, and a commitment to a successful therapy • Successful externalized stimulation trial prior to acceptance of permanent IPG implantation Contraindications Patients contraindicated for permanent SCS therapy are those who: • do not meet psychological selection criteria • have failed trial stimulation • are poor surgical risks • are pregnant Safety Instructions Safety Instructions Warnings Pregnancy. The safety and/or effectiveness of neurostimulation during pregnancy has not been established. Diathermy. Shortwave, microwave and/or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy are categorically contraindicated for SCS patients. The energy generated by diathermy can be transferred through the stimulator system, causing tissue damage at the lead site which may result in severe injury or death. Implanted Stimulation Devices. Spinal cord stimulators may interfere with the operation of implanted sensing stimulators such as pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators. The effects of implanted stimulation devices on neurostimulators is unknown. Postural Changes. Patients should be advised that changes in pos- ture or abrupt movements may cause decreases, or uncomfortable or painful increases in the perceived stimulation level. Electromagnetic Interference. Strong electromagnetic fields can potentially turn the stimulator off, or cause uncomfortable or jolting stimulation. Patients should be counseled to avoid or exercise care around: • Theft detectors or security screeners • Power lines or power generators • Electric steel furnaces and arc welders • Large, magnetized stereo speakers Precautions MRI. Patients implanted with the Precision SCS system should not be subjected to MRI. MRI exposure may result in dislodgement of implanted components, heating of the neurostimulator, damage to the Physician Lead Manual device electronics and/or voltage induction through the leads and stimulator causing an uncomfortable or “jolting” sensation. Medical Devices/Therapies. The following medical therapies or procedures may turn stimulation off or may cause permanent damage to the implant, particularly if used in close proximity to the device: • lithotripsy • electrocautery • external defibrillation • radiation therapy • ultrasonic scanning • high-output ultrasound If any of the above is required by medical necessity, refer to “Instructions for the Physician” on page 8. Ultimately, however, the device may need to be explanted as a result of associated failure. Automobiles and Other Equipment. Patients should not operate automobiles, other motorized vehicles, or potentially dangerous machinery/equipment with therapeutic stimulation turned on. Stimulation must be turned off first. Sudden stimulation changes, if they occur, may distract patients from attentive operation of the vehicle or equipment. Adverse Effects Potential risks are involved with any surgery. In addition to those typically associated with surgery, possible risks of stimulation system implantation include: • Lead migration, resulting in undesirable changes in stimulation and subsequent reduction in pain relief. • System failure, which can occur at any time due to random failure(s) of the components or the battery. These events, which may include device failure, lead breakage, Safety Instructions hardware malfunctions, loose connections, electrical shorts or open circuits and lead insulation breaches, can result in ineffective pain control. • Tissue reaction to implanted materials can occur. • Possible surgical procedural risks are: infection, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and, although rare, epidural hemorrhage, seroma, hematoma, and paralysis. • External sources of electromagnetic interference may cause the device to malfunction and affect stimulation. • Exposure to MRI can result in heating of tissue, image artifacts, induced voltages in the neurostimulator and/or leads, lead dislodgement. Physician Lead Manual Instructions for the Physician Implanted Stimulation Devices. If other implanted devices are indicated for the patient, careful screening is required to determine if safe results can be achieved before permanently implementing concurrent electrical therapies. Postural Changes. Depending on the activity level of the patient, postural changes may affect stimulation intensity. Instruct patients to keep the Remote Control at hand at all times, and ensure that they understand how to adjust stimulation levels. Medical Devices/Therapies. If the patient is required to undergo lithotripsy, electrocautery, external defibrillation, radiation therapy, ultrasonic scanning, or high-output ultrasound: • Adjust stimulation to its lowest level before the procedure or application, then turn off IPG. • All equipment, including ground plates and paddles, must be used as far away from the IPG as possible. • Every effort should be taken to keep fields, including current, radiation, or high-output ultrasonic beams, away from the IPG. • Equipment should be set to the lowest energy setting clinically indicated. • Instruct patients to confirm IPG functionality following treatment by turning on the IPG and gradually increasing stimulation to the desired level.

Red lines on the green tape located near the bottom of the inner tray cover indicates exposure to the sterilization process. Inspect the condition of the sterilization indicator and the sterile package before opening the package and using the contents. Do not use the contents if the indicator lines are not red, if the package is broken or torn, or if contamination is suspected because of a defective sterile package seal. • Do not use any component that shows signs of damage. • Do not resterilize the package or the contents. Obtain a sterile package from Advanced Bionics. • Do not use if “Use Before” date is exceeded. Note: The lead, lead extension and accessories are intended for single use only. Handling The lead is designed to perform in the hostile environment of the human body. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the lead with sharp instruments or excessive force during surgery. The following guidelines will help to ensure the longevity of components: 10 • Do not sharply bend or kink the lead or extension. • Do not tie suture(s) directly to the lead or extension body; use the provided suture sleeves. • Avoid forcing the lead into the epidural space by carefully clearing a path using the lead blank. Sterilization and Handling • Avoid pulling an implanted lead taut; provide a stress relief loop at the insertion site to minimize tension on the lead. • Avoid handling the lead with sharp instruments; use only rubber-tipped forceps. • Take care when using sharp instruments such as hemostats or scalpels to prevent damaging the lead. • Wipe off any body fluids from the lead connector end before connecting it to any other component. Fluid contamination of these connections could compromise the integrity of the stimulation circuit. • Wipe off any body fluids from the stylet before inserting or reinserting it into the lead. Storage Store components between 5 °C and 40 °C (41 °F–104 °F) in an area where they are not exposed to liquids or excessive moisture. Temperatures outside of the stated range can cause damage. 11 Physician Lead Manual Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation This section details the recommended procedures for trial-phase temporary implantation of the lead. Pre-op Instructions 12 • Check that the sterile package is intact. (See “Sterilization” on page 10.) • Ensure that a Trial Stimulator and Patient Trial Kit are available for use following lead placement. Install a new 6 volt battery (included in the Patient Trial Kit) in the Trial Stimulator. • Be sure the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control stimulation settings have been reset. Refer to the IPG manual for links and resets. • If monopolar testing is anticipated, place the monopolar/ indifferent electrode (available separately) on the patient’s shoulder or leg and run the cable to the Trial Stimulator testing site before the patient is prepped and draped. Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation Lead Placement Note: Fluoroscopic evaluation of the lead position during this procedure will aid the physician in achieving an optimum pain coverage location, and is recommended. 1. Position, prep and drape the patient in the usual accepted manner. Inject a local anesthetic at the needle insertion site. 2. Insert the needle into the epidural space with the opening facing up using an angle of 45° or less. Use only the insertion needle provided in the Lead Kit. Other needles may damage the lead. The stamped number on the needle hub corresponds to the orientation of the bevel, which must face up. Turning the bevel ventral (down) may result in lead damage. An angle of more than 45º increases the risk of lead damage. 3. Remove the needle stylet and verify entry into the epidural space using the standard technique. 13 Physician Lead Manual 4. OPTIONAL. Under fluoroscopic guidance, insert the lead blank through the needle and into the epidural space. Advance the lead blank to the target location, then withdraw the blank. 5. Slowly insert the lead, with stylet, through the needle (lead stylet should extend completely to the tip of the lead). 6. Advance the lead to the appropriate vertebral level using fluoroscopic guidance. A sufficient length of lead (i.e., at least 10 cm, or approximately three vertebrae) aids in lead stabilization. To facilitate advancement and placement, the lead body may be rotated. 14 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation Connecting the OR Cable Assembly The OR cable extension is designed for temporary connection to the OR cable to facilitate stimulation testing outside of the sterile field. After stimulation testing, the cable extension is typically removed and the OR cable is connected directly to the Trial Stimulator for use during the trial phase. Do not immerse the OR cable connector or plug in water or other liquids. The OR Cable Assembly is intended for onetime only use; do not resterilize. 1. If two leads are being implanted, wrap the non-sterile 1-L and 2R labels around the cables at the Trial Stimulator to identify lead connections. 2. Verify that the Trial Stimulator is off. Always turn the Trial Stimulator off before connecting or disconnecting the Cable Assemblies. 3. Check that the locking lever on the OR cable connector is in the open position (0). 4. Slide the proximal end of the lead, with stylet, into the open port on the OR cable connector. 15 Physician Lead Manual 5. Push the end of the lead into the port until it stops. Hold the lead in place while sliding the locking lever to the “1” (locked) position. Note: Once the lead is secured in the connector, the stylet can be manipulated in, but not removed from, the lead. 16 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation 6. Plug the OR Cable Assembly into the Trial Stimulator socket(s) labeled 1-L (left) and 2-R (right). Superior (upper or left) leads connect to socket 1-L. Inferior (lower or right) leads connect to socket 2-R. If only a single lead is being used, connect it to 1-L. 17 Physician Lead Manual Intraoperative Stimulation Testing Note: The following steps are for procedural reference only. Please refer to the Physician Systems Handbook for detailed stimulation testing procedures and guidelines. 1. Test various electrode configurations to obtain paresthesia. Note: If lead repositioning is necessary, turn stimulation off before proceeding. 2. 3. When the desired paresthesia is achieved: • turn the Trial Stimulator off • unlock each OR cable connector and disconnect from the lead(s) • slowly withdraw the stylet(s) Record the lead position by capturing a fluoroscopic image to be sure the leads have not moved. Retest if necessary. The image can also be used for a position comparison at closure to ensure that the leads did not move. OPTION A: Temporary Lead Trial 1. Hold the lead distal to the needle hub to maintain lead position during needle removal. 2. Carefully withdraw the insertion needle from the epidural space by slowly pulling the needle up towards the proximal end of the lead. 3. Continue to pull the needle back approximately one centimeter at a time until the needle tip is exposed. 18 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation 4. Once the needle tip is exposed, hold the lead as close to the percutaneous exit site as possible, then carefully pull the needle completely from the lead. 5. If desired, a small suture may be used to close the wound and stabilize the lead. Place and tape a stress relief loop and dress the wound. 6. Continue with “Connecting to the Trial Stimulator” on page 28. 19 Physician Lead Manual OPTION B: Permanent Lead Trial Removing the Needle 1. Cut down around the needle to access the supraspinous ligament. 2. Hold the lead distal to the needle hub to maintain lead position during needle removal. 3. Carefully withdraw the insertion needle from the epidural space by slowly pulling the needle up towards the proximal end of the lead. 4. Continue to pull the needle back approximately one centimeter at a time until the needle tip is exposed. 20 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation 5. Once the needle tip is exposed, hold the lead as close to the tip as possible, then carefully pull the needle completely from the lead. Anchoring the Lead 1. Place a suture through the supraspinous ligament or deep fascial tissue. 2. Slide a suture sleeve over the lead and down to the supraspinous ligament. 3. Ligate the sleeve onto the lead by tying a 2-0 silk or other nonabsorbable suture around the center groove of the sleeve to prevent sliding. Do not use polypropylene sutures as they may damage the suture sleeve. Do not suture directly onto the lead or use a hemostat on the lead body. This may damage the lead insulation. 21 Physician Lead Manual 4. Suture the sleeve to the supraspinous ligament or deep fascia through the suture sleeve holes. Tunneling And Connecting Extension A tunneling tool and straw are provided with the Lead Extension Kit to facilitate percutaneous tunneling of the lead or extension. • 22 Attach the tunneling tool handle to the shaft by turning the locking mechanism clockwise. Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation 1. Mark the desired route of the tunnel. 2. Administer the appropriate local anesthetic along the tunneling path. 3. Make a small incision at the desired exit site. 23 Physician Lead Manual 4. Create a subcutaneous tunnel from the exit site to the midline incision until the straw is visible and accessible at the exit point. 5. Unscrew and remove the tool handle. 24 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation 6. Grasp the tip of the tool with one hand while holding the straw in place with the other hand. Pull the tunneling tool shaft out through the straw. 7. Push the lead or extension proximal ends through the straw, then withdraw the straw. 8. Wipe clean the proximal end of the lead, then insert the proximal end into the extension connector until it stops and the last contact disappears. Note: If there appears to be an obstruction, use the torque wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the setscrew and/or gently rotate the lead to help advance the proximal end. 25 Physician Lead Manual 9. Using the torque wrench supplied, turn the extension connector setscrew clockwise until it clicks, indicating lock. Note: • Ensure the wrench is fully seated in the setscrew before tightening. • The wrench is torque-limited and cannot be overtightened. 10. Form an appropriately-sized pocket using blunt dissection on either side of midline for coiled excess lead and extension connectors. 11. 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. 26 Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation Tightening sutures directly on the lead can damage the lead. 12. Carefully remove excess slack by gently pulling the extensions from the exit wound. 13. Close the midline incision. 14. If desired, a small suture may be used to close the exit wound of the extension. Place and tape a stress relief loop and dress the wound. 27 Physician Lead Manual Connecting to the Trial Stimulator 1. Wipe fluids off the exposed lead connections. 2. Disconnect and discard the excess OR cable extension, unless extra length is needed for trial use. 3. Connect the OR cable(s) to the lead(s) or lead extensions: Slide the locking lever to “0,” fully insert the end of the extension into the port, slide the locking lever to “1.” 4. Connect the cable labeled 1-L to the upper or left lead, and the cable labeled 2-R to the lower or right lead. Labels are provided. 5. Connect the right and left-sided OR cables to the Trial Stimulator, referencing the position labels previously fixed to the cables. 28 Connecting to the Trial Stimulator 6. Fit the Velcro® belt to the patient, cut off the excess length, and place the Trial Stimulator in the belt pocket. 29 Physician Lead Manual Guidelines for Permanent Implantation This section details the procedures for • tunneling the lead/extension as part of an IPG implant • connection of lead/extension to the IPG The Tunneling Tool Assembly used in this procedure is provided with the Precision device as part of the IPG Kit. Percutaneous Lead/Extension Removal Before revising a trial system for chronic stimulation, the exposed portion of the lead or extension must be removed. The method chosen from the choices below will depend upon how the patient was prepared for the trial phase. Remove bandages and properly cleanse the exit site. Option A. Temporary Lead Removal 1. Clip sutures if used to secure the trial lead(s) in place. 2. Remove the lead(s) completely and discard. 30 Guidelines for Permanent Implantation Option B. Extension Removal 1. Open the midline incision to expose the lead and connector. 2. Cut the lead extension at the connector. 3. Pull the lead extension through the tunnel and away from body at the externalized site. 4. Loosen the connector setscrew using the torque wrench provided. Disconnect and remove the connector. Note: Connect a new lead extension, if necessary, to reach the selected IPG site. 31 Physician Lead Manual IPG Implantation 1. Ensure that the area surrounding the lead entry site is incised to a dimension that will accommodate the tunneling tool. Check that the lead is securely sutured with the suture sleeve. 2. Select and mark the intended IPG site several inches away from the previously externalized leads, and create an incision at the top of the site. 3. Create a subcutaneous pocket no larger than the IPG outline at a depth of up to 3/4 inch (2.0 cm) from the surface. Note: • Using the template will help guide the correct pocket sizing. It is important to keep the pocket small to reduce the chances of patient twiddling and IPG flipping afforded by larger pockets. • Implant charging frequency or time will increase with pocket depths greater than 3/4 inch (2.0 cm), and could become ineffective at greater depths. 32 IPG Implantation Tool Assembly The tunneling tool provided with the IPG includes a shaft extender to be used for up to two leads (with or without extensions). 1. Attach the handle to the tunneling tool shaft by turning the locking mechanism clockwise. Note: For more length, attach the shaft extension to the handle, and then attach the carrier shaft. 2. Thread the tip cover onto the tunneling tool and tighten by turning clockwise. Tunneling The Lead 1. Mark the desired route of the tunnel. 2. Administer the appropriate local anesthetic along the tunneling path. 33 Physician Lead Manual Note: Check that the tunneling tool tip is securely threaded onto the carrier. 3. OPTIONAL. If necessary, bend the tool shaft to conform to the patient’s body. Do not bend locking joints. 4. Create a subcutaneous tunnel from the IPG site to the midline incision. Note: Deep tunneling is not recommended. 34 IPG Implantation 5. Once the tunneling tip is completely exposed at midline, press it toward the shaft and turn it counterclockwise to remove it for access to the carrier. Note: You may feel the tip slide back before the cover begins to unscrew. 35 Physician Lead Manual 6. Carefully position each lead or extension into the carrier shaft and press the lead/extension into the groove. Note: If necessary, swivel the carrier by pulling it away from the handle and turning it to get better access to the cavities. 7. 36 Gently pull the tunneling tool back through the tunnel. IPG Implantation 8. Gently lift the lead(s) out of the locking groove(s). 9. Wipe off any fluids from the proximal end of the lead(s). Connecting To the IPG Before implanting the IPG, refer to the IPG Implant Manual. Dual Lead Connection • Superior (upper or left) leads connect to IPG port 1-L. • Inferior (lower or right) leads connect to IPG port 2-R. Single Lead Connection • Connect a single lead to IPG port 1-L. • Plug port 2-R with the connector plug supplied in the IPG Kit. 37 Physician Lead Manual 1. Fully insert the lead(s) into the IPG port(s). When the lead is properly inserted, the lead will stop and the retention ring will be located under the setscrew. 2. Pass the torque wrench through the slit in the septum located on the top of the IPG header and tighten both set screws, one at a time, until the torque wrench “clicks,” indicating lock. 38 IPG Implantation Note: • If the connector plug is used in port 2-R, it is still necessary to tighten the setscrew as described. • The wrench is torque-limited and cannot be overtightened. • Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the setscrew to prevent lead damage. 3. Place the IPG in the subcutaneous pocket with “This Side Up” facing anterior towards the skin. 4. Coil excess lead or extension under the IPG. Note: To confirm good connections, check impedances. 5. Secure the IPG in the pocket by suturing through the holes in the connector. 6. Close and dress the wound(s). 39 Physician Lead Manual Specifications and Technical Data Lead Part Specifications Model Number SC 2108 Lead Lengths 30, 50, 70 cm Lead Shape In-line Lead Diameter 1.3 mm Number of Electrodes Electrode Length 3 mm Electrode Spacing 1 mm Contact Material Platinum/Iridium Insulation Material Polyurethane Conductor Material MP35N Conductor Resistance < 7 Ohms 40 Specifications and Technical Data Lead Extension Part Specifications Model Number SC 3108 Extension Lengths 15, 25 cm Extension Diameter 1.3 mm Number of Contacts Contact Material Platinum/Iridium, MP35N, Stainless Steel Insulation Material Polyurethane, Silicone Conductor Material MP35N Conductor Resistance < 10 Ohms 41 Physician Lead Manual Registration Information In accordance with international practice and regulatory legislation in some countries, a registration form is packed with each Advanced Bionics Corporation lead/lead extension.
