12. Remove the syringe.
NOTE: The patient should be able to move their hand/wrist freely without any bleeding. If desired;
ask the patient to move their hand and wrist and check the site for any bleeding. If bleeding is
observed, inject additional air (not exceeding the max ll volume of 10mL) until bleeding stops.
NOTE: If bleeding is observed at any time, inject additional air (not exceeding the max ll volume of
10mL) until bleeding stops.
NOTE: Keep included syringe accessible for device de ation and removal.
13. Per hospital protocol, record the patient's vital signs and ensure adequate distal perfusion is
maintained. If necessary, adjust air volume in balloon.
NOTE: Air volume and compression time may di er according to patient's condition, anticoagulant
dosage, and size of puncture site.
14. Device/chart stickers are included to facilitate recording the time of in ation and mLs, as well as the
time of de ations and mLs removed.
Device De ation and Removal
1. If desired, all air may be removed slowly at the appropriate amount of time to achieve complete
hemostasis; or, a small amount of air (such as 1-2 mL) may be removed from the balloon periodically
based on the hospital's preferred clinical technique/hospital protocol to aid in maintaining
hemostasis.
2. Upon reaching complete hemostasis, slowly withdraw remaining air from the PreludeSYNC DISTAL
and observe the access site for bleeding.
NOTE: Complete hemostasis time may di er according to patient's condition, anticoagulant
dosage, and size of puncture site.
3. If bleeding is present, inject air until bleeding stops. Wait su cient time and repeat the device
de ation and removal instructions.
4. Once the air is removed and hemostasis is con rmed, carefully remove the PreludeSYNC DISTAL.
5. Place a sterile dressing per hospital protocol.
