Prescription and Safety Information
Read this section to gather important prescription and safety information.
Intended Use
The percutaneous leads covered in this manual are intended to be used with St. Jude Medical™ trial systems for SCS during a trial period that shall not exceed 30 days.
Indications for Use
St. Jude Medical™ neurostimulation systems are indicated as an aid in the management of chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with the following: failed back surgery syndrome and intractable low back and leg pain.
Contraindications
This system is contraindicated for patients who are unable to operate the system.
Warnings
The following warnings apply to these components.
Poor surgical risks.
Neurostimulation should not be used on patients who are poor surgical risks or patients with multiple illnesses or active general infections.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Patients with implanted neurostimulation systems should not be subjected to MRI. MRI can cause a temperature rise in the electrodes leading to serious injury.
Additionally, the electromagnetic field generated by an MRI may dislodge implanted components, damage the device electronics, and induce voltage through the lead that could jolt or shock the patient.
Diathermy therapy.
Do not use short-wave diathermy, microwave diathermy, or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy (all now referred to as diathermy) on patients implanted with a neurostimulation system. Energy from diathermy can be transferred through the implanted system and cause tissue damage at the location of the implanted electrodes, resulting in severe injury or death.
Diathermy is further prohibited because it may also damage the neurostimulation system components. This damage could result in loss of therapy, requiring additional surgery for system implantation and replacement. Injury or damage can occur during diathermy treatment whether the neurostimulation system is turned on or off. All patients are advised to inform their healthcare professional that they should not be exposed to diathermy treatment.
Electrosurgery devices.
Electrosurgery devices should not be used in close proximity to an implanted IPG or lead. Contact between an active electrode and an implanted IPG or lead can cause severe injury to the patient.
Implanted cardiac systems.
Physicians need to be aware of the risk and possible interaction between a neurostimulation system and an implanted cardiac system, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator. Electrical pulses from a neurostimulation system may interact with the sensing operation of an implanted cardiac system, causing the cardiac system to respond inappropriately.
To minimize or prevent the implanted cardiac system from sensing the output of the neurostimulation system, (1) maximize the distance between the implanted systems; (2) verify that the neurostimulation system is not interfering with the functions of the implanted cardiac system; and (3) avoid programming either device in a unipolar mode (using the device’s can as an anode) or using neurostimulation system settings that interfere with the function of the implantable cardiac system.
1
Theft detectors and metal screening devices.
Certain types of antitheft devices, such as those used at entrances or exits of department stores, libraries, and other public establishments, and airport security screening devices may affect stimulation. Patients who are implanted with nonadjacent multiple leads and patients who are sensitive to low stimulation thresholds may experience a momentary increase in their perceived stimulation, which has been described by some patients as uncomfortable or jolting. Patients should use caution when approaching such a device and should request assistance to bypass the device. If they must proceed through the device, patients should turn off the IPG and proceed with caution, being sure to move through the detector quickly.
Device components.
The use of components that are not approved by St. Jude Medical with this system may result in damage to the system and increased risk to the patient.
Device modification.
To avoid damaging internal components or injuring a patient, do not modify the lead in any way, such as by cutting it or altering its shape.
Precautions
The following precautions apply to these components.
General Precautions
Physician training.
Implanting physicians should be experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain syndromes and should have undergone sufficient surgical and device implantation training.
Infection.
It is important to follow proper infection control procedures. Infections related to system implantation might require that the device be explanted.
Implantation of multiple leads.
If multiple leads are implanted, the leads should be routed to the
IPG in adjacent tunnels. Nonadjacent leads have the possibility of creating a conduit for stray electromagnetic energy that could cause unwanted stimulation in the patient.
Sterilization and Storage
Single-use device.
The implanted components of this neurostimulation system are intended for a single use only. The components of this kit have been sterilized using ethylene oxide (EtO) gas and are supplied in packaging permitting direct introduction into the sterile field. Do not resterilize or reimplant an explanted system for any reason because of risk of infection and device malfunction.
Exposure to liquids.
System components should be stored where they will not be exposed to liquids or excessive moisture, which can damage the seal integrity of the package materials.
Handling and Implementation
Expiration date.
An expiration date (or "use before" date) is printed on the packaging. Do not use a component if the use-before date has expired.
Care and handling of components.
Use extreme care when handling system components prior to implantation. Excessive heat, excessive traction, excessive bending, or the use of sharp instruments may damage and cause failure of the components.
Package and component damage.
Do not implant a device if the sterile package or components show signs of damage, the sterile seal is ruptured, or if contamination is suspected for any reason.
Return it to St. Jude Medical for evaluation.
Exposure to body fluids or saline.
Exposure of the internal metal (i.e., contacts on the lead, the
IPG, or extension) to body fluids or saline can cause corrosion and affect stimulation. If this occurs, clean with sterile deionized water or sterile water for irrigation and dry completely prior to lead connection and implantation.
2
System testing.
The operation of the system should always be tested after implantation and before the patient leaves the surgery suite to ensure correct operation.
Component disposal.
Return all explanted components to St. Jude Medical for safe disposal.
Home and Occupational Environments
Lead movement.
Patients should be instructed to avoid bending, twisting, stretching, or lifting objects over five pounds during the trial period. Extension of the upper torso or neck may cause lead movement and alter the stimulation field (especially with leads in the cervical area), resulting in ineffective or overstimulation.
Adverse Effects
The use of a neurostimulation system involves risk. In addition to those risks commonly associated with surgery, the following risks are also associated with use of a neurostimulation system:
Undesirable changes in stimulation, which may be related to cellular changes in tissue around the electrodes, changes in electrode position, loose electrical connections, or lead failure
Stimulation in unwanted places (such as radicular stimulation of the chest wall)
Lead migration or local skin erosion
Implant migration
Epidural hemorrhage, hematoma, infection, spinal cord compression, or paralysis from placement of a lead in the epidural space
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage
Paralysis, weakness, clumsiness, numbness, or pain below the level of the implant
Persistent pain at the electrode site or IPG site
Seroma (mass or swelling) at the implant site
Allergic or rejection response to implant materials
Product Description
St. Jude Medical™ leads are designed for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to aid in the treatment of chronic, intractable pain. SCS is a method of pain control that uses low-intensity electrical impulses to stimulate nerve fibers within the spinal cord, often inhibiting chronic pain messages from reaching the brain. Percutaneous leads are designed for introduction into the epidural space using a special needle. The lead assembly consists of 4 or 8 cylindrical electrodes spaced at precise intervals. Percutaneous leads are supplied with a stylet to aid in positioning.
Package Contents
The percutaneous trial lead kits contain the following:
Guide wire.
Used to establish an appropriate pathway for the lead in the epidural space. The guide wire is 50 cm (20 in) in length.
Lead anchor.
Made of silicone and used to secure the lead to connective tissue for stability.
Epidural needle.
Special 14-gauge needle designed for insertion of the percutaneous leads into the epidural space.
Lead stylet.
Inserted in the lead body to assist in steering and positioning.

Directions for Use
Carefully review the following suggested guidelines for implantation of percutaneous trial leads. If implanting multiple leads, repeat the appropriate steps for each lead. For directions for use for other system components not covered in this document, see the clinician’s manual for the appropriate device.
Placing Percutaneous Leads
Percutaneous trial leads are designed for use during a trial implantation period not to exceed 30 days . They are designed for introduction into the dorsal epidural space using a special needle, guide wire, and the optional Introde-AK™ lead introducer. Each lead is packaged with the
accessories required to place the lead percutaneously. See Appendix A (page 10) for
specifications.
The following are suggested guidelines for placing percutaneous leads. For these instructions, use fluoroscopy as needed to assist in placing a device.
1.
Externally measure and determine the length of lead required to extend from the appropriate spinal level to the predetermined location of the implanted IPG. The appropriate vertebral level for needle entry should be identified and marked (see the following figure) to allow approximately 20 cm (8 in) of the lead to lie in the epidural space. This will facilitate stabilization of the lead and electrodes following implantation. Typical entry levels for lead target sites include the following.

CAUTION: Handle the lead with care. The lead can be damaged by mishandling, such as sharp bending, kinking, applying excessive traction, or contact with sharp instruments. Carefully examine each component upon removal from its sterile container. A lead exhibiting signs of damage should not be used.
After appropriate skin prepping, draping, and injection of local anesthetic, insert the epidural needle. A paramedian approach is recommended, and the needle angle should not be greater than 30° (see the following figures). Angles greater than 30° increase the risk of damage to the lead during insertion and manipulation.

1. Slightly withdraw the stylet
2. Insert the guide wire
5.
Once the tip of the guide wire is within the epidural space and slightly beyond the distal tip of the needle, fully reinsert the stylet and advance the guide wire to the desired target (see the following figure). When advancing the guide wire, it is very important to do so under fluoroscopic guidance and to manipulate the guide wire carefully to minimize the risk of dural tear.

Insert the lead through the lumen of the needle or the lead introducer (whichever is in place), and advance the lead to the target site under fluoroscopic control (see the following figure). To aid placement, percutaneous leads feature a removable stylet that provides added stiffness and facilitates control.
WARNING: If pulling the lead back through the needle, use caution to avoid severe damage to the lead due to shearing from the needle's tip.

Through fluoroscopic evaluation, confirm that the electrodes extend beyond the distal tip of the lead introducer or needle. If they do not, advance the lead or withdraw the lead introducer as necessary to expose the electrodes.
Perform intraoperative testing. See the clinician’s manual for the appropriate trial stimulator for instructions.
2.
3.
Securing the Trial Lead
After the lead has been externalized, it should be connected to the trial cable and secured to the skin to guard against movement during the trial period. For instructions about using the trial cable, see the clinician’s manual for that component.
1.
Once proper lead placement has been confirmed, tape the trial lead securely to the skin with small adhesive strips.
Connect the trial cable to the trial lead if disconnected.
Loop the externalized lead and excess trial cable, and secure it to the patient’s back with an appropriately sized adhesive drape. Leave sufficient trial cable length exposed to allow convenient connection to the trial stimulator.
