Note: Insert a connector plug (from an accessory kit) into any 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).

#

▪

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wrench is withdrawn.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.

1. Place the neurostimulator into the subcutaneous pocket using the pocket sizer if desired

and ensure that the extension or lead is not bent sharply. The neurostimulator can be
implanted and charged with either side facing outward. for optimal recharging, place the
neurostimulator within 1-2 cm (0.8 in.) of the skin surface.

#

▪

Ensure that the neurostimulator is placed no deeper than 3 cm (1.2 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.
