Figure 3. Wrap excess extension around the perimeter of the neurostimulator.
2. Use the suture holes in the connector block to secure the neurostimulator to the muscle
fascia with nonabsorbable silk.
Note: Secure the neurostimulator in the pocket to minimize movement or migration of
the neurostimulator.

Checking system integrity

#
Caution: To use the nonsterile clinician programmer in a sterile field, place a sterile
barrier between the patient and the programming head to prevent infection. Do not
sterilize any part of the clinician programmer. Sterilization may damage the
programmer.
Note: The neurostimulator should be in the pocket during system interrogation for integrity to
ensure proper readings.
1. To ensure proper connection of the extension to the neurostimulator, use the clinician
programmer to program the lead configuration and basic stimulation parameters, check
the battery status, and check the electrode impedances to rule out a short or open
circuit.
2. If the system integrity test results are not acceptable, refer to "Connecting the extension
to the neurostimulator" on page 9.

Completing the implant procedure

1. Close and dress all incisions.
2. Ensure that a patient control device is given to the patient.
3. Complete the device tracking and patient registration paperwork and return the
documents to Medtronic.
