CAUTION: Do not re-sterilize a catheter or reuse a catheter.
NOTE: See the catheter label for specific insertion instructions. Consult package insert
for full description of warning, precautions, and use instructions.
Connect the Catheter to the PIM
Connect the proximal end of the catheter to the PIM by firmly inserting the connector
into the PIM. Verify that the PIM connection is secure by gently pulling on the catheter.
Refer to the catheter IFU for directions on use before and during the procedure.
NOTE: Imaging will not start until the catheter is connected to the PIM.
Connect the ECG Input
ECG input must be connected to the Volcano system in order to provide VH analysis (for
Eagle Eye catheter). VH IVUS is only available for review if a valid ECG signal was
received during acquisition.
To obtain the ECG signal, do the following:
1. Connect the ECG cable to the hemodynamic ECG output
2. Connect the other end of the ECG cable to the rear panel ECG Input connector
on the Volcano system rear panel.
3. Verify the signal by observing the blinking red heart icon located in the upper
right section of the Volcano system screen.
