 There are many types of suture material that are acceptable for use. We recommend against the use of Silk for incisional closures due to its
inflammatory properties. We also recommend against the use of a cutting needle to secure the transmitter body as this can cut the softer
suture rib. A taper cutting needle is acceptable for use. Always ensure the suture size and material is appropriate for the species and the
procedure performed.

 Other Items
Lead Coupler Kits are used to quickly and conveniently join two segments of leads (ECG, EMG, EEG, or Respiratory Impedance) and can be used
with any DSI implant that contains leads.

Typical uses for the kits are as follows:

 Attaching existing, implanted leads to a new device

 Attaching new leads to a re-used device
 Repairing damaged leads while in-vivo

There are five different lead coupler kits which vary depending on device model:

 Use the Small Gauge Lead Coupler Kit (Part Number 276-0065-001) only with the ETA-F10 or HD-X11 devices
 Use the Small Gauge Multi-Color Lead Coupler Kit (Part Number 276-0042-001) with the F20-EET, F40-EET, HD-X02 and HD-S02 devices
 Use the Standard Multi-Color Lead Coupler Kit (Part Number 276-0146-001) with the 4ET, D70-EEE, F50-EEE, and D70-CCTP devices
*Please note that there may be more leads (colors) in the kit than are included on your device model. The yellow lead can be used for
the common wire, if applicable*
 Use the Respiratory Impedance Lead Coupler Kit (Part Number 276-0164-001) with the D70-PCTR device
 Use the Standard Lead Coupler Kit (Part Number 276-0031-001) with all other DSI devices that include biopotential leads

A crimp tool is required for coupling the leads and is used to connect the coupler assemblies to two pieces of lead wire. Without the tool, the
procedure cannot be performed appropriately. This tool is not included with the coupler kits and must be purchased separately. The crimp tool
is intended to be reused and can be sterilized if necessary. There are two different crimp tools available and the one needed will vary depending
on the lead diameter of the device model:

 Use the Small Gauge Crimp Tool (Part Number 276-0019-002) only with the F20-EET, F40-EET, ETA-F10, HD-X11, HD-X02 and HD-S02
devices
 Use the Standard Lead Crimp Tool (Part Number 276-0019-001) with all other DSI devices that contain leads

For more information and specific instructions on how to use these items, please refer to the Lead Coupler Kit Manual (391-0028-001).

Starter kits, training modules, surgical videos and manuals are available to help you get started. Please consult your Technical Sales
Representative, Customer Service at customerservice@datasci.com or Technical Services at support@datasci.com or 1-800-262-9687 to request
more information.
