Appendix A: Additional Device Information
Device Explantation
When explanting DSI devices implanted intraperitoneally, intramuscularly or
subcutaneously, consider the following:
Carefully remove the device body.
Be careful not to drop the device.
If cutting the catheter is necessary, use only a new scalpel blade to cut the catheter at a 45-
degree angle away from the device body and approximately 3 cm from the device body.
Do
not use any instrument other than a scalpel blade to cut the catheter. Cutting the
catheter with a pair of scissors or any other instrument could cause damage to the
pressure sensor and void the warranty. If the catheter must be cut, the device cannot
be reused.
Clean and sterilize the device with an approved enzyme detergent and sterilant before
returning the device to DSI. For complete information on products and techniques approved
for use with DSI devices, visit www.datasci.com.
Product Return Information
A detailed procedure for properly returning telemetry devices to DSI for exchange is
provided on our website, www.datasci.com. The following additional considerations should
be made:
To be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, the devices must be returned for
exchange within the warranty period.
Contact DSI Technical Services with any concerns or comments regarding the
performance of the devices.
Ensure that the devices are well packed, preferably in their original packaging and
boxes.
Return the devices via a traceable shipping method to prevent losses in transit.
