Foramen Needle Test Stimulation
Pressing “Lead Placement” on the
Home
screen opens the
Foramen Needle Placement
screen. This screen shows a visual
representation of the foramen needle (
①
) and allows test
stimulation of the foramen needle. To stimulate using the
foramen needle:
•
Connect the foramen needle test stimulation cable to
the CP (
②
) and to the foramen needle. Also connect
the stimulation ground cable to the CP (
③
) and to the
patient (see the
Tined Lead Implant Manual
for more
details on connecting to the foramen needle and the
patient).
Note:
The test stimulation cable is sterile and can be
used in the sterile field.
Note:
The stimulation ground cable is not sterile. Do not
place the ground electrode in the sterile field.
Note:
The CP is not sterile and cannot be sterilized. When using
the CP in a sterile field, place it into a sterile bag.
•
Next, press the “Impedance” button
(
⑩
)
to confirm the
foramen needle is connected. A qualitative indication of
the impedance (“Good”, “OK”, or “Bad”) will appear for 3
seconds next to the tip of the foramen needle graphic
(
⑥
). See the section
Understanding Impedance Values
for more information about the qualitative impedance
indicators.
•
To deliver stimulation, set the desired stimulation
amplitude on the Stimulation Bar (
④
) (see
Controlling
Stimulation Amplitude
for more information). Next press
the stimulation button(
⑤
) to turn on stimulation. The
stimulation button will light up when stimulation is on.
