Difficulty Removing The Release Wire From The Delivery System - Vascutek Thoraflex THP2224X100B Instrucciones De Uso

5.8 DIFFICULTY REMOVING THE RELEASE WIRE FROM THE DELIVERY SYSTEM

Potential Cause
If resistance is felt by the operator when
removing the release wire, there is the possibility
that the release wire has become kinked and/or
snapped within the device. The snapped portion
of the release wire must be removed before the
deployment can be completed.
Recommended Actions
1. The release wire should be inspected once
it has been removed from the system. Look
for any sign of fracture, damage or shortened
length.
Final length should be approximately;
• Cat No. TH.....X100B = 530mm
• Cat No. TH.....X150B = 630mm
2. Check the wire entry ports on the handle of the
delivery system. If a piece of wire is still there
remove it using forceps.
The release wire runs from the release clip to
the tip of the delivery system and terminates
back inside the handle.
If no wire is present on either side of the
handle then the device should have been
freed from the delivery system. Any difficulty
experienced must be due to the angulation of
the system. See section 5.9
