c.
While maintaining the desired needle angle, insert the needle into the skin. Refer to the specific device’s
Instruction for Use for more information
d.
Proceed with insertion – watch needle advancement onscreen. The solid green lines represent the needle
shaft and tip.
e.
During advancement, maintain the needle trajectory in the center of the intended target structure. Maintain
the needle so that the virtual needle is centered in the Probe Face Overlay and the virtual needle is green
f.
When attempting vessel access, watch for the following:
•
Anterior vessel wall indenting (once the puncture occurs the vessel will return to normal shape)
•
Blood return in the device
•
Needle reflection (flash of the needle tip) on the ultrasound image
g.
Complete procedure per suggested institutional guidelines
15.2.
Access Using Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology (if enabled)
1.
Prepare the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System.
a.
Verify the battery charge is sufficient for the procedure; otherwise, connect the power adapter to the
Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System
b.
Enter patient information as needed
2.
Position the patient and perform ultrasound assessment.
3.
Prepare the sterile field:
a.
Ensure all metallic objects are removed from the surrounding location (at least 2 feet away). If an object, such
as a bed rail, cannot be moved, take precautions to make the object stationary during the procedure
b.
Retrieve and open the Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle. Place contents in a location consistent with
current introducer practice
c.
Drape the ultrasound prove for sterile use (refer to Probe Cover Instructions for Use)
d.
If applicable, anesthetize the insertion site (per institution protocol)
4.
Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology Calibration:
a.
Using the Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology Probe navigation controls select the GT button (refer to Section
10)
Note:
When the GT button is selected, the “CALIBRATION REQUIRED” message is displayed.
b.
Re-scan the anatomy of interest using the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System
c.
Verify that the calibrate button is highlighted (refer to Section 10.2)
d.
Place needle at least 2 feet away from probe
e.
Hold the probe stationary and upright, press the ‘OK’ button on the probe to begin calibration. Calibration is
only required prior to inserting the needle into the patient
Note:
When the calibration cycle begins, the status banner will display “CALIBRATING…HOLD PROBE
STILL”. Once the system is calibrated, the status banner will display “READY…LIMIT PROBE
MOVEMENT”. Keep the needle 2 feet away from the probe until the calibration cycle is complete.
Caution:
Movement of the probe during calibration may result in calibration error.
Caution:
Keep the needle and any ferromagnetic objects, e.g., wired undergarments, metal instruments, watches,
jewelry, electronics, metal bed rails, etc. at least 2 feet away from probe when calibrating. Failure to do
so may impact the accuracy of needle tracking.
Caution:
Equipment operating in close proximity may emit strong electromagnetic or radio frequency interference
which could affect the performance of this device. Avoid operating the device near pumps, cauterizers,
diathermy equipment, cellular phones, or other portable and mobile radio frequency communications
equipment. Maintain equipment separation of at least 5 feet (1.5m).
Caution:
Excessive movement of the probe after calibration may result in reduced needle tracking accuracy.

Out-of-Plane
Ultrasound Guided Insertion Using Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology.
a.
When the system is calibrated, retrieve the Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle and move the Needle
toward the center of the probe at a 45° angle until the Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology virtual needle image
appears on the ultrasound display. Confirm the virtual needle image motion on the ultrasound display mirrors
actual needle movement
Caution:
If needle tracking is not functioning properly, discontinue use of Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology.
