Connecting a Lead or Extension to the IPG
The following steps outline the suggested guidelines to connect a lead or
extension to the IPG:
CAUTION:
Do not connect a lead or extension with body fluid or saline
residue on its contacts because corrosion can occur and cause failure of
the system.
1. If any of the lead or extension contacts came in contact with body fluid or
saline, thoroughly clean the contacts with sterile deionized water or sterile
water for irrigation and dry them completely.
CAUTION:
Observe these cautions when performing the following step:
Do not bend the lead sharply or it may be damaged.
Do not loosen the setscrew in the connector more than a quarter turn
at a time while trying to insert the lead. Retracting the setscrew too
far can cause the setscrew to come loose and make the connector
assembly unusable.
