INTRODUCTION This manual provides information about the Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) System Neurostimulator (Model 1101), which is a part of the Axonics SNM System. The Neurostimulator is connected to the Axonics Tined Lead (Model 1201 or 2201). Indications, Warnings, and Precautions •...
DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Axonics Neurostimulator (Figure 1) is part of the Axonics SNM System. The Neurostimulator is a programmable device that is connected to the Axonics tined lead, which conducts stimulation pulses to the sacral nerve. Figure 1: Axonics Neurostimulator.
System Registration Form and Patient Identification Card The system registration form registers the device and creates a record of the device in Axonics’ implant data system. The patient identification card is also packaged with this device. The patient should carry the identification card at...
Storage and Usage Environment Component Packaging – Any component that has been compromised in any way should not be implanted. Do not implant the component if any of the following have occurred: The storage package or sterile pack has been •...
Temperature (long term): 20 C to 30 • Humidity (short term: 3 days): 15% to 95% • • Humidity (long term): 30% to 85% Pressure (short term): 57 kPa to 106 kPa • • Pressure (long term): 70 kPa to 106 kPa If the Neurostimulator is exposed to extreme temperatures, it may be permanently damaged and should not be used, even if it has returned to a temperature that...

Note: All dimensions are approximate. *Battery life estimated at nominal and worst case stimulation settings. Nominal: 1 mA, 14 Hz, 210 µs, continuous stimulation, impedance = 1,600 Ohms. Worst case: 4 mA, 14 Hz, 210 µs, continuous stimulation, impedance = 1,600 Ohms.
X-RAY IDENTIFICATION The radiopaque marker allows physicians to identify the manufacturer and model number under standard x-ray procedures. For the Axonics Neurostimulator, the designated code is AXA, which appears as light characters on a black background (Figure 2). Figure 2: The Axonics Neurostimulator radiopaque...
NEUROSTIMULATOR IMPLANT PROCEDURE The following section describes the procedure for implanting the Axonics Neurostimulator. This procedure should be performed when an Axonics tined lead has already been implanted. Procedure Supplies In addition to the general surgical tools required by the...
Creating the Neurostimulator Pocket 1. The Neurostimulator will be placed in a subcutaneous pocket at the anterior surface of the muscle in the upper buttock area. Create a small incision, slightly larger than the smaller dimension of the Neurostimulator, and then bluntly dissect a subcutaneous pocket.
Figure 3: Axonics Neurostimulator Implantation Position. 2. Use the tunneling tool to create a tunnel from the lead incision site to the neurostimulator pocket. Refer to the Tined Lead Manual for detailed tunneling and lead implant instructions. Connecting the Lead to the Neurostimulator 1.

3. Use the torque wrench to turn the setscrew counterclockwise to back up the setscrew. Do not remove the setscrew from the connector block (Figure Figure 4: Use the Torque Wrench to Turn the Setscrew Counterclockwise to Back up the Neurostimulator Setscrew and Allow for Insertion of the Lead.
Page 21
Figure 5: Insert Lead Fully into the Neurostimulator Connector Block. ⚠ Cautions: • Avoid pulling the lead body taut when implanted. Do not attempt to insert the lead into the • Neurostimulator if the setscrew is not sufficiently retracted as doing so may cause damage to the lead and/or cause the lead to not seat fully into the connector block.
5. Fully insert the torque wrench into the hole of the Neurostimulator connector block. Tighten the setscrew by turning the torque wrench clockwise until it clicks (Figure 6). Figure 6: Secure the Lead by Tightening the Setscrew Clockwise onto the Retention Sleeve. ⚠...

recharging (Figure 3). The etched writing can face either towards or away from the muscle tissue. Ensure that the lead curves gently away from the Neurostimulator with no sharp bends. Note: The Neurostimulator should be placed no deeper than 3.0 cm (about 1 in) below the skin and should be parallel to the skin.
Neurostimulator. 4. Complete the system registration paperwork and return to Axonics. 5. Schedule the patient’s follow-up visits at regular intervals to ensure that the stimulation is programmed optimally.
