RNS

System User Manual

The leads to be implanted are selected based on the location of the seizure focus. NeuroPace

Cortical Strip Leads are recommended for seizure onsets on the surface of the cortex, where the

cortical strip leads may be placed over the focus. NeuroPace

Depth Leads are recommended for

seizure onsets beneath the cortical surface, such as within the mesial temporal lobe or within

subcortical lesions such as dysplasias, where the depth lead may be placed within the seizure focus.
Several lead lengths are available (refer to

the

NeuroPace® Cortical Strip Lead

section and the

NeuroPace® Depth Lead

section). The lead model selected should be the appropriate length to

reach from the seizure focus to the neurostimulator with as little excess lead as possible.
Up to four leads can be implanted (no more than two depth leads). For example, two depth leads and

two cortical strip leads, or one depth lead and three cortical strip leads could be implanted. Only two

leads can be connected to the neurostimulator at a given time; unconnected leads should be capped.

Leads connected to the neurostimulator can be changed at a subsequent procedure if desired.

•

Prior to the implant surgery, train the patient and / or caregiver how to use the NeuroPace

Remote Monitor and wand, as well as how to use the magnet to mark clinical seizures.

•

After implantation, provide the patient with the medical implant identification card.

•

Instruct the patient and/or caregiver to interrogate the neurostimulator every day using the remote

monitor and wand, and to synchronize the remote monitor with the PDMS at least once a week

(preferably every day).

Implanting the RNS

Neurostimulator and Leads

The RNS

Neurostimulator is cranially implanted. A ferrule is secured to a full thickness craniectomy

and then the neurostimulator is placed within the ferrule. The recommended location of the

neurostimulator is in the parietal skull but this can be modified based on the location of the leads and

the curvature of the patient’s skull. The neurostimulator may be implanted and secured in the ferrule

before or after the leads are implanted. Instructions for implanting the RNS

Neurostimulator are

provided in the

Surgical Procedures

section.

Leads are placed using standard neurosurgical techniques. NeuroPace

Depth Leads may be

implanted using standard stereotactic techniques through a burr hole in the skull, then secured by a

burr hole cover such as the NeuroPace

Burr Hole Cover Model 8110. NeuroPace

Cortical Strip

Leads are implanted through a craniectomy, in a manner similar to standard strip lead placements,

then secured using suture sleeves. Leads are tunneled under the scalp to the craniectomy.

Instructions for implanting NeuroPace

Depth Leads and NeuroPace

Cortical Strip Leads are

provided in the

Surgical Procedures

section.

When the implantation procedure is complete and while still in the operating room, the programmer is

used to test lead impedances and to capture real-time ECoG to ensure that there is good lead-tissue

contact. Instructions for checking lead impedances and for real-time ECoG are provided in the

Impedance Measurements

section and the section describing

Capturing Real-time ECoGs

Recommended Initial Detection and ECoG Storage Settings

The neurostimulator is initially programmed in the operating room to detect electrocorticographic

activity (ECoG) and to store ECoG segments.
A bipolar electrode montage is used for sensing. The sensing montage must be configured in a

bipolar manner. The recommended initial montage is to sense between neighboring contacts. For
