1.
Once the optimal location for the electrode has been determined, disconnect the Stimulating
Probe from the Pulse Generator.
2.
Unlock the Stimulating Probe from the Percutaneous Sleeve by rotating the hub counter-
clockwise and remove the Stimulating Probe, leaving the Percutaneous Sleeve in the tissue. Use
one hand to hold the Percutaneous Sleeve in place to maintain its position for optimal
MicroLead placement.
3.
With the anchoring barb facing up and nested within the needle bevel, insert the MicroLead
Introducer into the Percutaneous Sleeve. Align hub components and rotate the MicroLead
Introducer clockwise to lock components together.
Ensure that the distal barb of the MicroLead is hooked around the tip of the MicroLead
Introducer. If the MicroLead is protruding from the tip of the Introducer, gently pull back on the
lead near the Introducer hub until the distal barb is hooked around the tip of the Introducer.
