Lead Connection To Splitter - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Serie Manual De Uso

Precision™ System Clinician Manual
CAUTION: If the lead is exposed beyond
the tip of the needle, DO NOT advance
the needle or withdraw the lead back
through the needle. Failure to heed this
caution may damage the lead or possibly
result in inadequate stimulation.
CAUTION: Do not completely remove the
needle. Only remove the needle enough
to expose the contacts.
CAUTION: Do not withdraw the needle
past the anchoring site prior to creating
the anchor site incision.

Lead Connection to Splitter

1. Carefully withdraw the stylets from the
leads to be inserted into the splitter.
2. Wipe clean the proximal connector ends
of the leads.
3. Select the desired splitter model.
Note: A Splitter 2x8 must be used when
implanting the Infinion™ 16 lead
4. Check that the lead connector end can
be easily inserted into the splitter without
obstruction. If obstruction is encountered,
loosen the set screws of the splitter by
using the hex wrench provided, turning
counterclockwise.
Note: • The set screw should only be
loosened to an amount sufficient to
insert a lead.
• Do not excessively loosen the set
screw. This may cause the set screw
to dislodge rendering the splitter
unusable.

5. Insert proximal connector ends of desired
leads into splitter receptacles until they
are fully seated – each lead bottoms out
in receptacles and retention sleeves (long
ring) are under the setscrew blocks of the
splitter receptacles. Do not tighten set
screw at this time.
6. Continue to "Connecting the OR Cable
Assembly" on page 23, then proceed to
step 7 below.
7. Check connections with an impedance
measurement. If the impedance is
satisfactory, proceed to "Intraoperative
Stimulation Testing" on page 24 to
confirm proper lead location.
Note: Do not tighten set screw mechanical
lock before intra-operative stimulation
testing.
Note: On the 2x4 Splitter, the shorter splitter
receptacle corresponds to contacts
1-4, while the longer receptacle
corresponds to contacts 5-8. Make
note of which lead is connected to
each splitter receptacle.
Note: On the Splitter 2x8, one tail is laser-
marked with bands, and corresponds
to contacts 1-8 on the 16-contact
percutaneous lead; the unmarked tail
corresponds to contacts 9-16.
