Using the EPG During Intraoperative Test Stimulation
After placing the leads and connecting the leads to the trial cable, connect the trial cable to
the EPG, turn the EPG on, then turn stimulation on using the Clinician Programmer. During
intraoperative test stimulation, use the Clinician Programmer to program the EPG. For additional
procedural instructions, see the system implant manual packaged with the lead. For programming
instructions, see the
Clinician Programming Manual
.
Connecting the Trial Cable to the EPG
Caution:
The trial cable is a single-use component; do not resterilize the trial cable because of risk
of infection.
To connect the trial cable to the EPG:
1. Check that stimulation is off.
Caution:
Connecting the trial cable to the EPG with stimulation on may cause an
uncomfortable or jolting sensation.
2. To prevent the lead from pulling out from the spine, secure the trial cable to the drape before
passing the end of the cable off the sterile field.
3. After the cable end is passed off the sterile field, tape the non-sterile end on top of the sterile
drape, to prevent the non-sterile cable end from falling back into the sterile field.
4. With the arrow on the trial cable end and the Algovita logo facing the same direction, connect
the trial cable to the EPG ( Figure 5 ).
Caution: Maintain adequate slack on the trial cable. Do not pull the trial cable taut. Pulling on
the cable may dislodge the lead, which may result in loss of stimulation.
