CAUTION: Aer all leads have been implanted and before they are connected to the device, establish and
document the baseline morphology for capture and sensing thresholds for each lead using a suitable
recording system, such as a 12‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or an intracardiac electrogram (IEGM).
To connect the device to the leads:
1. Remove blood and body uids from the terminal pins of the implanted leads.1.
2. Check the markings on the device case and verify proper atrial and ventricular connecons.2.
CAUTION: Exercise cauon when turning the setscrew, which may be backed out of the connector if
turned counterclockwise for more than two rotaons.
NOTE: In CRT‑Ps: For proper sensing and pacing, it is important to ensure that le and right ventricular
signals are correctly detected and that pacing pulses are delivered in the desired chamber.
3. Use the #2 torque wrench packaged with the device to retract the setscrews in the device connector so3.
that the pacing lead terminal pins can be fully inserted.
NOTE: The same #2 torque wrench is also supplied in a separate package, which can be used for this
purpose.
4.
Insert a lead rmly into the connector unl the lead pin is immobile and visible in the viewport at the
4.
opposite end of the connector.
5.
Grip the torque wrench by the large part of the handle as shown in the gure on the le below. On
5.
applicable wrench models, do not grip the torque wrench by the smaller, narrower part of the handle as
shown on the right.
