4. For the respiratory sensing lead, remove the shorting bar from the connector; for the
stimulation lead, proceed to step 5.
5. Insert the lead connector into the tunneling tool collet as follows:
a. Slide the collet sleeve down toward the tunneling tool tip to allow the lead connector to
be inserted into the collet.
b. Insert the pin of the lead connector into the collet of the tunneling tool (Figure 13 A)
c. Slide the sleeve over the collet to lock the connector pin in place (Figure 13 B).
d. It is not necessary to exert excessive force to secure the sleeve over the collet.

6. Gently pull the lead out through the exit site in the IPG pocket.
7. Remove the lead from the tunneling tool by sliding back the sleeve from the collet.
Respiratory Sensing Lead Implant
Caution: For the respiratory sensing lead, to avoid electrical damage to the
sensor, avoid using cautery during the tunneling procedure and prior to
connecting the lead to the IPG. The black, U-shaped shorting bar must be
attached to the lead if cautery is performed and the lead is not connected to
the IPG.
Caution: Avoid touching the lead connector within 2 cm (0.8 in) from the end
after the shorting bar is removed and until the lead is connected to the IPG.
Caution: Be sure the lead is routed so as to avoid sharp bends or kinks in the
lead body.
Cautions:
• Use care when handling the lead. The pressure sensor is susceptible to damage
due to electrostatic discharge. Leave the black U-shaped clip on the connector in
place except during tunneling and connection to the IPG.
• Do not touch the recessed sensing membrane of the sensor with surgical tools as
this will damage the sensor.
