CONNECTING THE TRIAL STIMULATOR TO THE TINED LEAD OR PNE LEAD
The following section describes the process for connecting the TS to the cables used to connect to the tined lead or the PNE lead. This
should be performed when an Axonics lead has already been implanted and the appropriate cables are available. For a trial using
the PNE lead, the Basic Trial Cable should be connected to the TS. For a trial using the tined lead, a Percutaneous Extension (PE) cable
should be connected to the TS.
1. Align the raised base on the TS connector with the raised bar on the Basic Trial Cable or the grey colored bar on the PE (
Figure 3
).
2. Press the connectors together to connect the Basic Trial Cable or PE to the extension of the TS (
Figure 3
).
3. Use the CP to check the TS impedances to verify the TS and cable is connected correctly.
Notes:
• There will not be any gap between the connectors when fully inserted.
• Use the CP to check the electrode impedances to confirm that the cables are connected.
Figure 3:
Align the raised grey bar on the TS with the raised bar on the Basic Trial Cable (shown) or the grey line
on the PE (not shown). Plug the Basic Trial Cable or PE fully into the extension of the TS.
INSERTING TS INTO THE BELT
The following section describes the placing the TS into the provided belt. This procedure should be performed when an Axonics lead
has already been implanted.
1. Fit the belt around the patient’s waist. Fasten and adjust the belt width as necessary (
Figure 4
). The belt should be worn such that
it is comfortable for the patient. The pouch for the TS is located above the patient’s hip.
2. Slide the TS into the pouch on the belt. Position the TS extension looped around the TS (
Figure 5
). The TS is fully inserted when it
passes the narrow point of the pouch.
3. Coil any excess cable and place it in the pouch.
