Catheter Assembly Positioning
1.
Utilize vascular imaging guidance (e.g. ultrasound) to thread the ClariVein’s coaxial
Catheter Sheath and Dispersion Wire through the access device to the desired position
within the peripheral vasculature.
Joining Catheter Assembly to the Motor Drive Unit (MDU):
1.
Maintain position of the catheter and dispersion tip within the peripheral vessel.
2.
Hold the Guide Wing and advance the MDU onto the Catheter Assembly’s Cartridge for
initial mating in the alignment channel Position 1 (Figure 2, Item 7; Figure 4). Exercise
care
not
to bend or kink the proximal end of the catheter.
NOTE:
Once placed into Position 2, the Catheter Assembly is
not removable
from the
MDU.
3.
Using vascular imaging guidance confirm that the Dispersion Wire Tip remains in
desired position. Adjust as needed.
4.
Place the Cartridge in the final position on the MDU by simultaneously advancing the
MDU while applying slight pressure on the Syringe Locking Support. The cartridge will
snap into alignment Position 2.
NOTE: The electrical circuit is now armed and the Dispersion Wire Tip is now
unsheathed
.
5.
Snap the syringe into the MDU Syringe Locking Support and ensure it is fully engaged.
(Figure 2, item 9)
6.
Utilizing vascular imaging guidance, reconfirm that the Dispersion Wire Tip remains in
desired position within the vessel. Adjust as needed.
