Cautions:
▪
Ensure that the neurostimulator is placed no deeper than 1 cm (0.4 in) below
the skin and is parallel to the skin. If the neurostimulator is too deep or is not
parallel to the skin, recharge may be inefficient or unsuccessful.
▪
Position the neurostimulator with the Medtronic logo facing outward. If
implanted with the Medtronic logo facing inward, the neurostimulator cannot
be charged.
▪
Do not coil excess extensions or leads in front of the neurostimulator. Wrap
excess extensions or leads around the perimeter (Figure 3) or behind the
neurostimulator to help minimize potential damage during neurostimulator
replacement surgery, help minimize potential kinking of the extension or lead,
and minimize interference with telemetry and recharge operation.

2. Use the suture holes in the connector block to secure the neurostimulator to the muscle
fascia with nonabsorbable silk.
Checking system integrity
#
Caution: To use the nonsterile clinician programmer in a sterile field, place a sterile
barrier between the patient and the programming head to prevent infection. Do not
sterilize any part of the clinician programmer. Sterilization may damage the
programmer.
Note: The neurostimulator should be in the pocket during system interrogation for
integrity to ensure proper readings.
1. To ensure proper connection of each extension or lead to the neurostimulator, use the
clinician programmer to program the basic stimulation parameters, check the battery
status, and check the electrode impedances to rule out a short or open circuit.
