5. Remove the needle stylet from the insertion needle and verify entry into the epidural space using the standard technique.
Remove needle stylet
Verify entry into the epidural space.
6. OPTIONAL. Under fluoroscopic guidance, insert the Lead blank through the LOR adaptor and into the epidural space. Advance the Lead blank to
verify entry into the epidural space, then withdraw the blank.
7. The LOR adaptor must be removed prior to inserting the Lead. Pull the LOR adaptor straight out from the slotted needle without twisting or
bending.
Recommended: Hold the slotted needle in place while removing the LOR adaptor.
Note:
An Anchor must be loaded over the distal end of the Infinion CX Lead prior to inserting the Lead into the Entrada Needle.
8. While holding the Lead stylet handle, place the steering cap over the proximal end of the stylet handle with moderate force until it is held in
place. The Lead stylet should be fully inserted into the Lead. Slowly insert the Infinion CX Lead into the slotted needle, directing the distal Lead
tip into the needle lumen.
OPTIONAL. Cover slotted needle with finger to aid in insertion of Infinion CX Lead into slotted needle lumen.
OPTIONAL. If needle steering within the slotted needle is not needed, remove slotted needle and insert Lead directly into sheath.
9. OPTIONAL. If exchange of the Lead stylet is desired, carefully pull out the existing stylet and insert the preferred stylet. The stylet must be
inserted into the Infinion CX Lead tail with one marker band. While inserting the stylet into the Lead, if resistance is encountered, withdraw
the stylet approximately 3 cm, rotate the Lead and/or stylet, and gently advance the stylet. If resistance is still encountered, repeat the above
procedure until the stylet can be fully inserted.
