5. Support the OR Cable Connector to prevent unnecessary bending of the Lead during testing.
6. Verify that impedances are acceptable by using the Clinician Programmer or Remote Control.
7. Evaluate Lead placement by appropriate methods. If necessary, adjust the Lead location or
stimulation parameters.
Note: The Lead Stylet should remain in place throughout insertions or adjustments of the DBS
Lead.
High charge density can cause permanent tissue damage. The Clinician
Warning:
Programmer will limit stimulation parameters to safe values.
Warning:
Increasing the number of Lead penetrations increases the probability of
hemorrhage. To minimize acute Lead revisions, use techniques of target
localization, such as microelectrode recordings and/or imaging.
8. Turn off ETS 3.
A sudden increase in stimulation may occur if ETS 3 is ON while disconnecting
Warning:
the OR Cables.
9. Depress the button on the OR Cable Connector to release the Lead. Keep the button
depressed until the OR Cable Connector has been fully removed from the Lead and Lead
Stylet.
10. Disconnect the OR Cable from the proximal end of the DBS Lead by sliding the OR Cable
Connector straight up and off the DBS Lead and Lead Stylet. Use caution to avoid disturbing
the Lead Stylet within the DBS Lead.
11. Verify that the DBS Lead has not moved from the desired location.
