Cautions
•
Insert the dilator into the center of the sheath valve.
Forced insertion of the dilator which misses the center
of the sheath valve may cause damage, and result in
blood leakage.
•
Lock the dilator hub into the sheath hub securely. If the
dilator hub is not locked into the sheath hub, only the
sheath will advance into the vessel and the tip of the
sheath may damage the vessel. Advancing the sheath
alone may cause damage to the vessel.
8.
Insert the dilator and sheath together over the mini
guidewire, and into the blood vessel (Fig. 4).
9.
“Unlock” the dilator hub from the sheath hub by bending
the dilator hub downward (Fig. 5).
10. Slowly remove the dilator and mini guidewire together,
leaving the sheath in the vessel (Fig. 6). If injection or
sampling is necessary at this point, remove the mini
guidewire only, and use the dilator hub as an injection port
before removing it.
Caution
•
Slowly remove the dilator from the sheath. Rapid
withdrawal of the dilator may result in the incomplete
closing of the 1-way valve, resulting in blood fl ow
through the valve. If this occurs, replace the dilator into
the sheath and remove again slowly.
11. Insert a catheter through the sheath and into the blood
vessel, and advance to the desired location (Fig. 7).
