3.5.2 Removal of the Sheath Splitter (Device Release Stage II)
Once the sheath has been removed, the splitter is detached from the delivery system by cutting the suture (Figure
12a). Ensure the graft fabric under the splitter is opened up to facilitate the removal of the handle (Figure 12b).
3.5.3 Guidewire Removal
CAUTION: IF A GUIDEWIRE WAS USED DURING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE DEVICE IT MUST BE
REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE THE RELEASE WIRE IS REMOVED
enables the guidewire to be removed while the device remains held in position by the system thereby preventing
movement of the stented section.
3.5.4 Release Wire Removal (Device Release Stage III)
In order to fully release the device from the delivery system pull the red release clip and attached wire out of the
delivery system handle (Figure 14). The release wire should be pulled out proximally, in line with the delivery
system handle. The distal end of the stent graft will now be released from the delivery system (Figure 14).
