Sterilization and Handling

• Avoid pulling an implanted lead taut; provide a stress

relief loop at the insertion site to minimize tension on

the lead.

• Avoid handling the lead with sharp instruments; use

only rubber-tipped forceps.

• Take care when using sharp instruments such as hemo-

stats or scalpels to prevent damaging the lead.

• Wipe off any body fluids from the lead connector end

before connecting it to any other component. Fluid con-

tamination of these connections could compromise the

integrity of the stimulation circuit.

• Wipe off any body fluids from the stylet before inserting

or reinserting it into the lead.

Storage

Store components between 5 °C and 40 °C (41 °F–104 °F) in an area

where they are not exposed to liquids or excessive moisture. Temper-

atures outside of the stated range can cause damage.
