Figure 7.2: Inserting the proximal connectors into the CLS header
3.
Gently slide the proximal connector until it hits a stop.
a.
All contacts should be within the port.
b.
The end of the proximal connector should rest against the stop – visible
through the header.
Note:
Take care to ensure that there is no bend or kink in the lead while inserting. Test
impedance of the electrodes to confirm a good connection.
4.
Temporarily place the CLS partially within the CLS pocket.
5.
Confirm correct connection.
Note:
This step is to be completed by the programming clinician outside of the
sterile field. The Evoke™ Clinical Manual provides specific information on this
procedure. The programming clinician:
a.
Initiates wireless communication between the CI and the CLS.
b.
Checks the impedance with the CI to ensure that any leads are connected
properly to the CLS.
c.
It may be necessary to reinsert the leads if some electrodes are not
connected properly to the CLS.
6.
When satisfied that the leads are correctly inserted, use the torque wrench supplied
in the kit to tighten the setscrew on each port until you hear a “click” (refer to Figure
7.3).
