Guidelines for Trial-phase Implantation

This section details the recommended procedures for trial-phase tem-

porary implantation of the lead.

Pre-op Instructions

• Check that the sterile package is intact. (See “Steriliza-

tion” on page 18.)

• Ensure that a Trial Stimulator and Patient Trial Kit are

available for use following lead placement. Install a new

6 volt battery (included in the Patient Trial Kit) in the

Trial Stimulator.

• Be sure the Trial Stimulator and Remote Control stimu-

lation settings have been reset. Refer to the IPG manual

for links and resets.

• If monopolar testing is anticipated, place the monopolar/

indifferent electrode (available separately) on the

patient’s shoulder or leg and run the cable to the Trial

Stimulator testing site before the patient is prepped and

draped.
