Implanting the IPG
When implanting the IPG, consider patient lifestyle factors, such as the use of firearms, carrying
backpacks, and other work or recreation related activities.
1. Wrap the excess lead body behind the IPG (Figure 19) and position the IPG and wrapped
excess lead body in the pocket. Implant the IPG with the logo facing up toward the skin.

2. Test the system using the physician programmer.
a. Place the telemetry cable into a sterile sleeve and hold the telemetry head centered
over the IPG.
b. To check stimulation function, evaluate both the stimulation response and the sensor
waveforms. Refer to the physician programming manual for instructions.
Caution: When placing the IPG and leads into the subcutaneous pocket:
•Do not coil the leads. Coiling the leads (Figure 20) can twist the lead bodies
and may result in lead dislodgement.
•Do not grip the leads or IPG with surgical instruments.
• Ensure that the IPG logo is facing up toward the skin.
