3. Flush through the side connection of the sheath with 10 ml of heparinized
saline.
4. Screw the cartridge cradle with its filter
clockwise onto the sheath. Ascertain that both
are securely locked together.
5. Using the short pusher (blue), insert the filter
into the sheath. The pusher must be completely
inserted.
6. Unscrew the cartridge cradle and remove it
with the pusher as a unit.
Note : The cartridge cradle must be removed to
ensure a correct filter implantation.
7. Inject several milliliters of heparinized saline to prevent thrombus formation in
the sheath, using the side connection.
G) Advance the filter through the sheath
1. Insert the distal end of the long pusher (white)
into the sheath. Hold the sheath firmly, not
allowing it to move.
2. Using the long pusher (white), advance the
filter through the sheath under fluoroscopy, until the proximal mark on
the pusher is aligned with the mouth of the introducer sheath.
3. The filter is now located at the distal end of the sheath. The system is ready
for final positioning prior to deployment.
