DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Alliance II Integrated Inflation/Litho Handle is a nonsterile,
reusable tool used with the sterile, single use Alliance II Syringe/Gauge
Assembly (sold separately), designed to simplify inflation and deflation
of balloon dilatation catheters. The Alliance II Integrated Inflation/
Litho Handle is also used with the sterile, single-use Trapezoid™ RX
Wireguided Retrieval Basket, which is supplied separately. When
assembled, the system is intended to aid in the crushing of gallstones
during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
The diagram shown below (Figure 1) describes the key components
of the Alliance II Integrated Inflation/Litho Handle when used with
the Syringe/Gauge Assembly. On the left side of the handle is a
blue directional switch that controls the movement of the Syringe/
Gauge Assembly plunger or the movement of the basket. Pumping
the handle lever inflates and deflates the balloon catheter or extends
and retracts the basket to crush the captured stone.
