When the PNE lead is placed through the Foramen needle, the
CP provides test stimulation to help determine if the lead is near
the sacral nerve. This screen shows a visual representation of
the PNE lead ( 1 ) and allows test stimulation of the PNE lead. To
stimulate using the PNE lead:
Connect the foramen needle test stimulation cable to the CP
•
( 2 ) and to the PNE lead. Also connect the stimulation ground
cable to the CP ( 3 ) and to the patient (see the PNE Lead
Implant manual for more details on connecting to the PNE
lead 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.
To deliver stimulation, set the desired stimulation amplitude on
the Stimulation Bar ( 6 ) (see Controlling Stimulation Amplitude
for more information). Next press the stimulation button ( 7 ) to
turn on stimulation. The stimulation button will light up when
stimulation is on.
