STEP 7
To inflate the balloon, squeeze the
trigger allowing the plunger to return to the
resting position (0 ATM/BAR). Release grip on
the trigger, locking the plunger into position.
STEP 1
Prior to use, free the plunger tip
by twisting the device plunger/handle 360
degrees clockwise.
STEP 3
Remove any excess air by orienting the
device upwards, squeezing the trigger located
on the device handle and pushing the handle
forward. Push forward until the device plunger
tip is oriented with the black arrow printed on
the device barrel (approximately 35 mL).

STEP 2
To prep device, squeeze the trigger
and pull back on the handle to aspirate up to
60 mL of contrast solution into the syringe.
CAUTION
: Inspect the device tubing and stopcock
(if used) to ensure there is no air in the system.
STEP 4
Prepare and test the balloon catheter
according to the catheter manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
NOTE
: Refer to the manufacturer’s directions
accompanying the balloon dilation catheter, or other
interventional device, for specific information on
use, maximum inflation pressure, precautions, and
warnings for that device.
STEP 5
Create a fluid-fluid connection between
the balloon and the inflation device extension
tube and connect the luer connectors securely.
STEP 6
Squeeze the trigger and pull back on
the handle to apply vacuum to the balloon.
STEP 8
To increase pressure, rotate the handle
clockwise until the desired inflation pressure is
reached. The locking mechanism maintains the
pressure.
CAUTION
: Do not exceed 12 ATM.
NOTE
: Loss of pressure may indicate a leak in the system.
STEP 9
To deflate the balloon, rotate the
handle counter-clockwise to relieve pressures
above 6 ATM. Squeeze the trigger and pull
the handle back to generate negative pressure.
Release the grip on the trigger to lock the
plunger in the negative pressure position.
