4.
Use the valve bypass tool to open the hemostasis valve and advance the lead and stylet to the distal tip of the catheter. Use
fluoroscopy to confirm the position of the lead within the catheter.
5.
Aspirate for the presence of air and flush the catheter through the stopcock. Close the stopcock.
Finding the Target Location
1.
Connect the WorkMate Claris
™
Recording System or the Merlin
™
PSA to the catheter via the Supreme Electrophysiology Cable
and adapter pins.
2.
Use the deflection knob to deflect the distal tip of the catheter to the target location.
3.
Adjust the position of the catheter until the target location is captured via the distal tip electrodes and confirm with pacing and
EGM signals.
Anchoring the Lead
1.
After finding the target location, advance and anchor the lead helix into the target location.
2.
Attach electrical connectors to the lead.
3.
Confirm placement of the lead via EGM and pacing analysis. Use fluoroscopy to visually confirm location of the lead.
4.
If repositioning is necessary, retract the lead helix and repeat earlier steps, as applicable, to reposition.
5.
Once the lead is anchored and placement is confirmed, detach the electrical connections from the lead and catheter.
1.
Lead Stabilization Channel: protects the lead and engages the shaft of the delivery sheath
2.
Lead Retention Channel: passively maintains the lead position
3.
Thumbpad: Actively maintains the lead position
Removing the Catheter
Table 4. Slitting the Catheter
1.
Partially retract the stylet to prevent lead dislodgement.
2.
Provide slack to the lead by advancing the lead through the catheter.
