1.
The programming clinician or Saluda Representative will plug the lead adapter
extension into the port on the eCLS (refer to Figure 10.7).
Figure 10.7: Connect the lead adapter cable (or lead adapter extension) to the eCLS.
Confirm optimal lead placement
•
If confirmation of optimal lead placement will be based on ECAP measurement, go to
section 10.4.1.
•
If paresthesia mapping is to be performed, go to section 10.4.2.
ECAP measurement
Refer to the Evoke™ Clinical Manual for detailed programming instructions.
1.
Connect the CI to the eCLS.
2.
Check electrode impedance using the CI to ensure the leads are connected properly.
o
If electrode impedance is greater than 4000Ω check all the connections.
o
Check impedance after each reconnection of the proximal connector to
the lead adapter.
3.
Select the stimulation and measurement electrodes and settings.
4.
Verify that an ECAP can be measured by stimulating, for example, at the top and
bottom of the lead.
o
If the ECAP measured is not satisfactory, change the electrodes, stimulation
or measurement settings using the CI or move the percutaneous lead to a
new position.
o
Verify ECAP measurement after changing settings or moving the
percutaneous lead.
5.
When satisfied with the lead placement, disconnect the lead adapter from the lead
adapter cable (see section 10.5) and disconnect the lead from the lead adapter (see
section 10.6).
