Lead to pulse generator connections
CAUTION: Do not insert a lead into the pulse generator connector without
first visually verifying that the setscrew is su fficiently retracted to allow insertion.
Fully insert each lead into its lead port and then tighten the setscrew onto
the electrodes.
1. As each lead is inserted into the pulse generator, secure the lead in place
by tighten ing the setscrew with the torque wrench.
a. Insert the wrench into the center, preslit depression of the seal plug.
b. Place pressure on the lead to maintain its position in the pulse
generator lead port. Be certain that the lead remains fully inserted
intheleadport.
c. The large-handled torque wrench is preset to apply the proper amount
of force to the captive setscrew. Tighten the setscrew, making sure it is
not crooked, until the wrench ratchets; additional force is unnecessary.
d. Apply gentle traction to the leads to ensure a secure connection.
2. In models with IS-1 connectors, insert and secure the right ventricular
pace/sense lead terminal into the RV lead port.
NOTE: When connecting leads to a device header, connect the RV lead
first. An RV lead is required to establish RV-based timing cycles that yield
appropriate sensing and pacing in all chambers, regardless of the programmed
configuration.
