How Supplied - COOK SteadySheath Evolution Instrucciones De Uso

9. With the catheter/lead in tension, and under fluoroscopic guidance,
advance the inner sheath along the length of the catheter/lead and, if
applicable, into the blood vessel. Advance the SteadySheath over the
inner sheath keeping it within the vessel.
WARNING: Evolution Shortie or Evolution Shortie RL should only be
used to minimally enter the vessel. Do not attempt to negotiate the
Evolution Shortie or Evolution Shortie RL device past a bend in the
vessel as vessel wall or cardiac lead insulation damage may occur.
10. To utilize SteadySheath, hold it stationary while advancing and/or
rotating the inner sheath to avoid undue tissue movement. This
technique will aid in preventing adjacent tissue and indwelling
catheters from rotating around the inner sheath when it is advancing.
11. For cardiac leads, if the lead has not been freed by the time the
sheaths near the myocardium, position the SteadySheath so that the
blunt end is directed toward the myocardium. Pull the inner sheath
back several centimeters.
Apply countertraction with the SteadySheath as follows:
Firmly hold the outer sheath one centimeter from the heart wall and
steadily pull the Locking Stylet back; the pacing tip will be pulled into
the sheath.
12. When the catheter/lead has become unentangled and freed from
tissue attachment, carefully remove from the patient, the catheter/lead,
Locking Stylet if used and SteadySheath (or other retrieval device).
