Step 6: Perform the initial magnet-tracking calibration.
Calibrate the Sherlock 3CG™ TCS by selecting CALIBRATE [ ] prior to setting up the
sterile field to ensure there is no environmental interference.
Tip:
If calibration fails, remove any items that may be causing magnetic interference (e.g.
active motor driven equipment, monitor leads, cell phones, name tags, jewelry,
etc.).
Step 7: Prepare the catheter sterile field.
Refer to the Bard Access Systems’ catheter Instructions for Use.
Step 8: Access the vein.
Refer to the Bard Access Systems’ Site~Rite Vision™ II Ultrasound System Instructions and
Bard Access Systems’ catheter Instructions for Use.
Step 9: Perform the final magnet-tracking calibration.
Ensure the catheter tip is at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from the sensor before calibrating.
Select CALIBRATE [ ] immediately prior to catheter insertion.
Once calibration is complete, ask the patient to remain still and do not reposition the
patient.
Refer to Bard Access Systems' catheter Instructions for Use for catheter insertion.
Step 10: Insert the catheter.
Refer to Bard Access Systems’ catheter Instructions for Use for catheter insertion.
Step 11: Catheter tip guidance and positioning:
Refer to Bard Access Systems’ catheter Instructions for Use for catheter insertion.
Initially a searching magnifying glass will indicate that the stylet tip is outside the sensor
range.
Use a slow steady motion while advancing the catheter.
Magnetic Navigation
As the stylet tip approaches the sensor, an icon appears at the edge of the screen indicating
the approach of the stylet tip.
When the stylet is under the sensor, the stylet and depth icons will display the location,
orientation, and depth of the stylet in relation to the sensor.
Advance the catheter slowly to achieve optimal performance (1 cm per second). There may
be a slight delay from the time the catheter is moved until the stylet icon moves on the
