3. Following the system function check, verify that the therapy is off and the stimulation
amplitude is programmed to 0 volts. It is recommended to keep the therapy off for the first
month after the implant surgery to allow for healing and encapsulation of the stimulation
lead.
Completing the Implant Procedure
After testing, complete the implant procedure:
1. Secure the IPG by placing permanent sutures through one of the two suture holes and
attaching to the fascia (not to muscle).
2. Irrigate all incision sites with a generous amount of bacitracin and saline solution or
equivalent before closing.
3. Close the surgical incisions.
4. At the discretion of the physician, antibiotics may also be administered postoperatively.
Postoperative Follow-up
Follow up with normal postoperative care. A 7–14 day check of surgical incision healing is
recommended.
To allow for healing after surgery, the system should not be activated for about 1 month following
implant. Refer to the Inspire programmer manual for additional information.
Regular patient follow-up should be scheduled to monitor the condition of the IPG battery and
to confirm that the therapy values are appropriate.
