Note: Insert a connector plug (from an accessory kit) into unused neurostimulator
socket.
4. For each extension, lead, or plug, fully insert the torque wrench (packaged with the
rechargeable neurostimulation system) into each self-sealing grommet of the connector
block and tighten each setscrew (Figure 2).

Cautions:
▪
Be sure the torque wrench is fully inserted into the self-sealing grommet. If the
torque wrench is not fully inserted, the setscrew may be damaged, resulting
in intermittent or loss of stimulation.
▪
Before tightening setscrews, ensure that the extension or lead connector pins
are inserted into the connector block to prevent damaging the lead or
extension.
▪
Verify that each leaf of the self-sealing grommet is closed after the torque
wrench is withdrawn. If fluid leaks through a grommet seal that is not fully
closed, the patient may experience shocking, burning, or irritation at the
neurostimulator implant location, or intermittent stimulation, or loss of
stimulation.

Implanting the neurostimulator

1. Place the neurostimulator into the subcutaneous pocket with the Medtronic logo facing
outward, away from muscle tissue, and ensure that the extension or lead is not bent
sharply.
