Note for the implantation from the Brachial approach :
•
Implantation approach:
This Introducer System is designed for insertion via the
Brachial approach
(Antecubital)
. If needed, this Introducer System can be used to insert the
filter via the right internal jugular vein or the left or right subclavian veins.
In this case, due to the length of the introducer, it is important to rigorously
follow aseptic technique.
Other approaches (particularly the left internal jugular vein, the right or
left external jugular veins) should not be attempted.
•
Preparation of the patient:
Stretch the arm of the patient 90 degrees from the long axis of
the spinal column. This will allow you to place the introducer in the axis
of the subclavian vein.
