8. Ensure that the proximal end of the Vercise Adapter M8 is clean and insert the proximal end of
the Adapter into the Boston Scientific DBS Stimulator.
9. Perform the Stimulator implantation procedure. For instructions on implanting the Stimulator,
refer to the Surgical Implant Manual for your Boston Scientific DBS System as listed in your
DBS Reference Guide. Complete Steps a and b prior to closing the incisions.
a. Tighten the Setscrew in the Vercise Adapter M8 until the Hex Wrench clicks, indicating the
Setscrew is fully secured.
b. Apply a medical adhesive (e.g. Dow Corning Silastic™ Medical Adhesive Silicone, Type‑A
Sterile, as available from Boston Scientific, model no. SC‑4320) to coat and seal the top of
the Setscrew port (Figure 3).
Note: Medical Adhesive is sold separately. The Medical Adhesive Instructions for Use is
provided separately.
Note: Damage to the septum seal may lead to unintended stimulation at the implantation
site if medical adhesive is not used as intended.
Note: Do not place the distal segment of the Vercise Adapter M8 between its proximal end and
the Boston Scientific DBS Stimulator. Placement of wires between these two devices
could result in damage to the wire insulation resulting in loss of stimulation.
Note: Do not wrap or coil the excess Lead Extension wires or the distal Adapter segment
around the perimeter or in front of the Stimulator. Wrapping around the Stimulator may
cause wires to slip in front of the Stimulator. Placing wires in front of the Stimulator
may cause kinking of the Lead Extension and Adapter wires, potential interference with
telemetry and/or recharge operation, and damage during future Stimulator replacement
surgery.
Note: If the Vercise Adapter M8 is placed or moves superficial to the Stimulator, it could cause
communication or charging difficulties.
