External Trial Stimulator (ETS) Maintenance
The ETS may be used to conduct intraoperative stimulation testing during the Lead implantation
procedure. Refer to the IFU listed in your DBS Reference Guide for detailed procedure and
guidelines for intraoperative testing.
To turn stimulation on and off on the ETS, press and release the ON/OFF button on the ETS
(Figure 1). When the stimulation is on, the Stim Indicator Light will blink green. The ETS runs on
2 AA batteries that are provided with every ETS kit. When the batteries need replacement, the
Battery Indicator Light will change from a flashing green to a flashing yellow.
Ensure that stimulation is off (the indicator light is not blinking) before opening the ETS battery
compartment.
To install new batteries in the ETS:
1. Confirm that stimulation is OFF by confirming that the stimulation indicator light is not blinking.
2. On the rear of the ETS, push in slightly and slide down the battery compartment cover.
3. Remove the old batteries.
4. Place 2 new AA batteries in the slots matching the positive (+) and negative (‑) markings in the
compartment.
5. Align the battery compartment cover on the case and slide the cover into position until is snaps
closed.
6. Both the Battery Indicator light and the Stim On indicator lights will emit an amber glow for
15 seconds after which the Battery Indicator light blinks green.
