Instructions for useImplanting physicians should be experienced in epidural-access procedures and should bethoroughly familiar with all product labeling.wWarning: DO NOT use the recharger on an unhealed wound. The recharging systemis not sterile, and contact with the wound can cause an infection.#Caution: If the neurostimulator is not being used for an extended period of time,recommend that your patient charge the neurostimulator at least once per year. If thebattery is discharged, stimulation will stop and the neurostimulator may notcommunicate with the controller.#Caution: Advise patients to charge the neurostimulator when a low battery message isdisplayed on the controller in order to maintain uninterrupted therapy from theneurostimulator. If the battery is discharged, stimulation will stop and theneurostimulator may not communicate with the controller.Note: The patient will be able to use the controller and recharger to charge a dischargedbattery without causing damage to the battery or the neurostimulator.#Cautions:▪When using sharp instruments near the neurostimulator, be extremely careful toavoid nicking or damaging the case, the insulation, or the connector block.Damaging the neurostimulator may require surgical replacement.▪Do not use saline or other ionic fluids at connections, which could result in a shortcircuit.Charging the neurostimulator batteryCheck the battery level of the neurostimulator before opening the package, and recharge theneurostimulator if the battery is low. For charging instructions, refer to the recharging systemuser manual. If the patient will be sent home with stimulation on, charge the neurostimulatorin the package before implant.Verifying neurostimulator operationBefore opening the sterile neurostimulator package, verify that the neurostimulator is operableby using the clinician programmer to interrogate the neurostimulator and read theneurostimulator battery charge level. (Refer to the programming guide for instructions on howto read the battery charge level.)#Caution: Do not implant a neurostimulator if it was dropped onto a hard surface from aheight of 30 cm (12 in) or more, because the neurostimulator may be damaged and failto operate properly.Note: The neurostimulator pocket may be flushed with an antibiotic solution; do not submergethe neurostimulator in fluid.97715 2012-06 English 92012-06Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.6 x 6 inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialImplantManual.xsl - IPGTemplate.fmTemplate version: 08-02-2011M946871A001
Connecting the extension or lead to the neurostimulator#Caution: Before connecting components, wipe off any body fluids and dry allconnections. Fluids in the connection may result in stimulation at the connection site,intermittent stimulation, or loss of stimulation.1. Wipe the extension or lead connector pins with sterile gauze. If necessary, use sterile(United States Pharmacopeia [USP]) water or a nonionic antibiotic solution.2. Make sure the connector block receptacles are dry and clean.3. Insert the appropriate extension or lead connector pins into the appropriateneurostimulator socket until they are seated fully within the connector block (Figure 1).Notes:▪During insertion, some resistance is typical.▪To retract the setscrews, insert the torque wrench into the self-sealing grommet androtate the setscrews counterclockwise; however, do not remove the setscrews fromthe connector block.#Caution: Do not insert the extension or lead connector into the connector block ifthe setscrews are not sufficiently retracted. If the setscrews are not retracted, thesetscrews may damage the extension or lead and the extension or lead will not beseated fully into the connector block.Socket II (Electrodes 8-15)Extension or Lead 2Extension or Lead 1Socket I (Electrodes 0-7)Figure 1. Insert the extension or lead connector pins fully into the neurostimulator.10 English 97715 2012-062012-06Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.6 x 6 inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialImplantManual.xsl - IPGTemplate.fmTemplate version: 08-02-2011M946871A001
Note: Insert a connector plug (from an accessory kit) into any unused neurostimulatorsocket.4. For each extension, lead, or plug, fully insert the torque wrench (packaged with therechargeable neurostimulation system) into each self-sealing grommet of the connectorblock and tighten each setscrew (Figure 2).#Cautions:▪Be sure the torque wrench is fully inserted into the self-sealing grommet. If thetorque wrench is not fully inserted, the setscrew may be damaged, resultingin intermittent or loss of stimulation.▪Before tightening setscrews, ensure that the extension or lead connector pinsare inserted into the connector block to prevent damaging the lead orextension.▪Verify that each leaf of the self-sealing grommet is closed after the torquewrench is withdrawn. If fluid leaks through a grommet seal that is not fullyclosed, the patient may experience shocking, burning, or irritation at theneurostimulator implant location, or intermittent stimulation, or loss ofstimulation.Figure 2. Tightening the setscrews in the self-sealing grommet.Implanting the neurostimulator1. Place the neurostimulator into the subcutaneous pocket using the pocket sizer if desiredand ensure that the extension or lead is not bent sharply. The neurostimulator can beimplanted and charged with either side facing outward. for optimal recharging, place theneurostimulator within 1-2 cm (0.8 in.) of the skin surface.#Cautions:▪Ensure that the neurostimulator is placed no deeper than 3 cm (1.2 in) belowthe skin and is parallel to the skin. If the neurostimulator is too deep or is notparallel to the skin, recharge may be inefficient or unsuccessful.97715 2012-06 English 112012-06Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.6 x 6 inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialImplantManual.xsl - IPGTemplate.fmTemplate version: 08-02-2011M946871A001
▪Do not coil excess extension in front of the neurostimulator. Wrap excessextension or leads around the perimeter (Figure 3) or behind theneurostimulator to help minimize potential damage during neurostimulatorreplacement surgery, help minimize potential kinking of the extension or lead,and minimize interference with telemetry and recharge operation.Figure 3. Wrap excess extension around the perimeter of the neurostimulator.2. Use the suture holes in the connector block to secure the neurostimulator to the musclefascia with nonabsorbable silk.Note: Secure the neurostimulator in the pocket to minimize movement or migration ofthe neurostimulator.Checking system integrityThe connections of the extensions and leads to the neurostimulator can be checked using theclinician programmer. Refer to the programming guide for detailed programminginstructions.wWarning: To use the nonsterile programmer system components in a sterile field, placea sterile barrier between the patient and system components to prevent infection. Do notsterilize any components of the programmer system. Sterilization may damage thecomponents.1. To ensure proper connection of each extension or lead to the neurostimulator, use theclinician programmer to perform the lead insertion check.2. If the lead insertion check results are not acceptable, refer to "Connecting the extensionor lead to the neurostimulator".Completing the implant procedure1. Close and dress all incisions.2. Turn off stimulation before sending your patient home.3. Ensure that a patient control device is given to the patient.12 English 97715 2012-062012-06Filename Date TimeUC200xxxxxx EN4.6 x 6 inches (117 mm x 152 mm)Medtronic ConfidentialImplantManual.xsl - IPGTemplate.fmTemplate version: 08-02-2011M946871A001
