Connecting the OR Cable
Assembly
The OR cable assembly is designed for
temporary connection of a lead to the Trial
Stimulator. A cable extension is provided.
When using a Splitter 2x8 prepare two OR
Cable Assemblies.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the OR
cable connector or plug in water or
other liquids. The OR Cable Assembly
is intended for one-time only use; do
not resterilize.
1. If two leads are being implanted, wrap the
non-sterile “1-L” and “2-R” labels around
the cables at the Trial Stimulator to iden-
tify lead connections.
2. Verify that the Trial Stimulator is off.
CAUTION: Always turn the Trial Stimu-
lator off before connecting or discon-
necting the cable assemblies.
3. Check that the locking lever on the OR
cable connector is in the open position,
marked “0”.
4. For Percutaneous Leads, remove the
steering cap from the stylet and slide
the proximal end of the lead with stylet,
or splitter, into the open port on the OR
cable connector.
5. Push the end of the lead or splitter into
the port until it stops. Hold the lead in
place while sliding the lever to the locked
position, marked “1”.

6. Plug the OR Cable Assembly into the cor-
responding Trial Stimulator port(s) labeled
“1-L” (left) and “2-R” (right).
Superior (upper or left) leads connect to
port “1-L”. Inferior (lower or right) leads
connect to port “2-R”. If only a single lead
is being used, connect it to “1-L”.
Note: If using a Splitter 2x8, connect the
cable labeled “1-L” to the laser-
marked tail, and the cable labeled
“2-R” to the unmarked tail.
7. Proceed to the instructions for “Intraop-
erative Stimulation Testing” page 25.
