connector pins may damage the setscrews and the extension connector pins
will not be seated fully into the connector block.
▪
Limit counter-clockwise rotations of the neurostimulator setscrews when
retracting them. Too many counter-clockwise rotations may disengage the
setscrew from the connector block.
Figure 1. Insert the extension connector pins fully into the neurostimulator.
4. Fully insert the torque wrench into each self-sealing grommet of the connector block and
tighten each setscrew (Figure 2).
Note: The torque wrench must be oriented to the same angle as the 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 the setscrews, ensure that the extension connector pins are
inserted into the connector block to prevent damaging the connector block.
▪
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wrench is withdrawn.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 may occur.
