Connecting the OR Cable Assembly
The OR cable assembly is designed for temporary connection of a lead to the Trial Stimulator. A cable
extension is provided. When using a Splitter 2x8 prepare two OR Cable Assemblies.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the OR cable connector or plug in water or other liquids. The OR Cable
Assembly is intended for one-time only use; do not resterilize.
1. If two leads are being implanted, wrap the non-sterile “1-L” and “2-R” labels around the cables at the Trial
Stimulator to identify lead connections.
2. Verify that the Trial Stimulator is off.
CAUTION: Always turn the Trial Stimulator off before connecting or disconnecting the cable assemblies.
3. Check that the locking lever on the OR cable connector is in the open position, marked “0”.
4. For Percutaneous Leads, remove the steering cap from the stylet and slide the proximal end of the lead
with stylet, or splitter, into the open port on the OR cable connector.
5. Push the end of the lead or splitter into the port until it stops. Hold the lead in place while sliding the lever
to the locked position, marked “1”.

6. Plug the OR Cable Assembly into the corresponding Trial Stimulator port(s) labeled “1-L” (left) and “2-R”
(right).
Superior (upper or left) leads connect to port “1-L”. Inferior (lower or right) leads connect to port “2-R”. If
only a single lead is being used, connect it to “1-L”.
Note: If using a Splitter 2x8, connect the cable labeled “1-L” to the laser-marked tail, and the cable labeled
“2-R” to the unmarked tail. If using an Innion CX lead, connect the cable labeled “1-L” to the tail with
one marker band, and the cable labeled “2-R” to tails with two marker bands.
7. Proceed to the instructions for “Intraoperative Stimulation Testing” on page 30.
