gentle curve is less likely to straighten than a sharp bend as the stylet
is used.
CAUTION:
Do not use a sharp object to curve the distal end of a stylet.
Do not curve a stylet while it is in the lead. If a curved stylet is preferred,
gently curve a straight stylet before inserting it into the lead to avoid
damage to the stylet and lead.

Carefully insert the stylet through the funnel of the Connector Tool and
terminal pin.
NOTE:
To optimize insertion into the lead, do not allow body
fl
uids to come in
contact with the stylet.
4.
Ensure the stylet is fully inserted in the lead prior to inserting the lead
into the vein.
CAUTION:
Do not bend the lead with a stylet in place. Bending the lead
could damage the conductor and insulation material.
Handling the Fixation Helix
Before implanting the lead, verify the mechanical functioning of the lead.

Grasp the Connector Tool and the terminal boot molding. To engage
the
fi
xation knob on the terminal pin, push the
fi
xation knob toward the
Connector Tool body to close the gap. Rotate the
fi
xation knob clockwise
to extend the helix or counterclockwise to retract it. Visually observe the
helix extending and retracting (Figure 4 on page 15).
