Pressing "Lead Placement" on the Home screen will present
a window for selecting which type of lead is being implant.
Select the type of lead being implanted, and then the Foramen
Needle Placement screen will appear. This screen shows a
visual representation of the foramen needle ( 1 ) and allows
test stimulation of the foramen needle. To stimulate using the
foramen needle:
Connect the foramen needle test stimulation cable to the CP
•
( 2 ) and to the foramen needle. Also connect the stimulation
ground cable to the CP ( 3 ) and to the patient (see the
lead implant manuals for more details on connecting to the
foramen needle and the patient).
Note: The test stimulation cable is sterile and can be used in the sterile field.
Note: The stimulation ground cable is not sterile. Do not place the ground
electrode in the sterile field.
Next, press the "Impedance" button ( 4 ) to confirm the
•
foramen needle is connected. A qualitative indication of the
impedance ("Good", "OK", or "Bad") will appear for 3 seconds
next to the tip of the foramen needle graphic ( 5 ). See the
section Understanding Impedance Values for more information
about the qualitative impedance indicators.
