SYMPTOM
DESCRIPTION
SOLUTIONS
Pinpoint™ GT Needle
Technology Probe does not
detect Pinpoint™ GT Safety
Introducer Needle.
Likely cause:
The system is in
freeze mode.
1.
Select the freeze button to exit freeze mode.
Likely cause:
Magnetic fields
have changed since calibration.
1.
Move all metal objects including the needle at least 2 feet
(61cm) away from the Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology
Probe.
2.
Lower bed rails.
3.
Move all active electronic devices at least 5 feet (1.5m)
away.
4.
Do not move the Pinpoint ™ GT Needle Technology Probe
and ask the patient to remain still.
5.
Re-calibrate.
Note:
If error persists, call Customer Service at: 1-800-545-0890.
An alternate number may be available in the System Information
Tab (see Section 11.5).
Needle tracking virtual needle
image has erratic behavior.
Likely causes:
Magnetic interference
OR
Magnetic fields have changed
since calibration.
1.
Move all metal objects including the needle at least 2 feet
(61cm) away from the Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology
Probe.
2.
Lower bed rails.
3.
Move all active electronic devices at least 5 feet (1.5m)
away.
4.
Do not move the Pinpoint ™ GT Needle Technology Probe
and ask the patient to remain still.
5.
Re-calibrate.
Note:
If error persists, call Customer Service at: 1-800-545-0890.
An alternate number may be available in the System Information
Tab (see Section 11.5).
Difficulty aligning and
maintaining the Point of
Intersection Circle in the vein
Likely cause:
Excessive
movement of probe and/or
needle.
1.
Anchor the probe in a stationary and upright position.
2.
Only modify the position of the needle to change the location
of the point of insertion circle.
Likely cause:
Leveraging/Bending of the
needle.
1.
Use a light touch.
2.
Advance the needle slightly.
3.
Release pressure on the needle and observe the location of
the circle.
4.
Advance the needle and repeat.
16.3.1. Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology Troubleshooting Steps
To test the functionality of the Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology System, perform the following steps:
1.
Attach a Site~Rite® Needle Guide onto the probe.
2.
Move all metal objects (including the needle) at least 2 feet (61cm) away from the Pinpoint™ GT Needle
Technology Probe.
3.
Move all active electronic devices and magnetic articles at least 5 feet (1.5m) away.
4.
Obtain a small container of water.
5.
Immerse the end of the probe into the container of water.
6.
Calibrate.
7.
Insert needle into needle guide. Advance the needle to the end of the needle guide and release the needle.
Observe the location of the Point of Intersection Circle and verify that the violet circle is located at the depth
of the chosen needle guide.
8.
Advance the needle halfway to the needle guide depth and release the needle. Observe the location of the
Point of Intersection Circle and verify that the circle is located at the depth of the chosen needle guide.
Observe the virtual needle image – it should be approximately halfway to the needle guide depth.
9.
Advance the needle until the needle visualization appears on the ultrasound image.
10. Compare the location of the needle visualization to the Point of Intersection Circle. The Point of Intersection
Circle should remain at the needle guide depth and should be green. The needle visualization should appear
at the needle guide depth.
