Instructions for use
Securing the lead into a device with an external
device boot that requires suturing (see also the
device technical manual):
1. Insert the lead terminals fully into the device
boot. The lead pin should be clearly visible at the
end of the viewing port. See Figure 1.
Figure 1.
2. Use the white-handled wrench to penetrate the
rubber and engage the setscrew in place in the
device.
4
3. To secure the lead, tighten the setscrew by
turning the wrench clockwise until resistance is
felt. You should be able to turn the setscrew at
least 1/2 turn before resistance is felt. If the
setscrew turns more than one complete
revolution without resistance, the lead is not
properly inserted. If this occurs, back the
setscrew out and reinsert the lead. (The
white-handled wrench is designed to slip when
overtorqued to prevent damage to the socket or
the setscrew.) See Figure 2.
Figure 2.
4. Tighten the rubber boot with one
non-absorbable ligature (synthetic) placed in
the groove provided.
Securing the lead into a device with internal
sealing rings that do not require suturing (see
also the device technical manual):
Note: Spaced sealing rings are molded into the lead
connector end and are designed to ensure a tight fit;
no sealant is required. Should the physician need to
lubricate the lead, sterile water may be used.

1. Push each lead end into its respective
connector until the lead pin is clearly visible at
the end of the pin viewing area. If inserting the
lead is difficult, determine if the setscrew is too
far in by looking into the lead port. If the setscrew
is too tight, insert the hex wrench and turn the
setscrew counterclockwise only until the lead
pin hole is unobstructed. See Figure 3.
Figure 3.
Caution: Counterclockwise rotation beyond
this point may disengage the setscrew from the
connector block. Lubricating the lead end with
sterile water may also facilitate lead insertion.

Figure 4.
2. To engage the setscrews captured in the
connector block, pass the hex wrench tool
through the pre-pierced holes in the rubber
grommet. See Figure 4.
3. To secure the leads, tighten the setscrews by
turning clockwise until resistance is felt. The
setscrews must be engaged before pacing will
begin. Traction should not be applied to the lead
until the setscrews have been tightened; and
then only gentle traction should be used.
Caution: Care should be taken not to damage
the grommets when inserting the hex wrench.
Do not overtighten the screw. The white hex
wrench is designed to slip when overtorqued to
prevent damage to the socket or the setscrew.
Bending the wrench may break it. Do not use
other hex wrenches since they have torque
capabilities greater than is intended for this
connector.
Two hex wrenches are provided with the device.
Wrenches may be left inserted in the device until
leads are secured. The rubber connector seal
maintains wrench position.
7
Securing the device using suture holes
The device has suture holes that may be used to
secure the device in the subcutaneous pocket using
normally available surgical needles.
See the device technical manual for more
information.
Special notice
Medtronic Service Kits (the “Service Kits”) consist of
Connector means (the “Connectors”) and Tools (the
“Tools) to connect a Medtronic lead system to a
Medtronic Pulse Generator. The Connectors are
implanted with the lead system and the pulse
generator in the extremely hostile environment of the
human body. Connectors and Tools may easily be
damaged by improper handling or use.
Consequently, no representation or warranty is made
that the failure or cessation of function will not occur.
