INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SET UP
1.
Examine the packaging of the devices
to ensure the sterility of the product
has not been breached. Remove the
sterilized instruments from their
package per standard sterile
technique.
2.
With the Connector Alignment Arrow
symbol in the 12 o’clock position, push
the Connector into the appropriate
ISOLATOR receptacle on the front of
the ASU or ASB3. Each ISOLATOR
has a unique receptacle on the ASB3.
To ensure device performance, verify
proper connections to the ASB3 by
consulting the ASB3 package insert.
Verify that the connections between
the ISOLATOR and the ASU or ASB3
are secure. If the connections are
loose, do not use the ISOLATOR.
Inspect the Cable and do not use the
ISOLATOR if the cable is frayed or the
insulation is damaged.
3.
If the ISOLATOR is to be used with a
supplied GLIDEPATH Instrument
Guide (Integrated Guide
– Figure 2),
go to step 4.
If the ISOLATOR is not to be used with
the instrument guide, go to step 20.
POSITIONING OF GLIDEPATH TAPE
GUIDE
4.
The Guide may be used with
commercially available general
dissection or surgical clamping tools
(auxiliary tools) to create and maintain
a dissection plane that facilitates
placement of the ISOLATOR clamp
around structures per standard
surgical technique.
5.
Examine the Guide package to ensure
the sterility of the product has not
been breached. Remove the Guide
from its packaging per standard sterile
technique.
6.
Secure the proximal end of the Guide
to the sterile drape near the surgical
site.
7.
Insert the distal end of the auxiliary
tool completely into the distal pocket of
the clear ribbon portion of the Guide.
8.
Maintain attachment of the distal
portion of the Guide to the auxiliary
tool during positioning of the Guide.
Note: Lubrication may be applied to
the Guide at the user’s discretion.
9.
Once the desired placement of the
Guide is achieved, use a grasping
device to grasp one of the Lateral
Tabs (Figure 2) on the Guide and
remove the Guide from the auxiliary
tool. Externally secure the distal end
of the Guide near the surgical site.
Note: If an articulating dissection tool
is used, un-articulating the device may
facilitate removal of the Guide.
