INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. With the basket fully retracted into the sheath, insert the device
into an endoscope accessory channel. Advance the device through
the channel in short increments until the basket sheath exits the
endoscope.
2. Endoscopically visualize the polyp to be removed and advance the
basket to the appropriate position.
3. Place the sheath of the basket beyond the target, and slowly extend
the basket to entrap polyp. Note: It may be necessary to move the
basket back and forth along the target in order to capture the polyp.
4. Withdraw the basket into the sheath while maintaining entrapment.
Support the polyp against the endoscope tip, and withdraw the
endoscope from the patient. Maintain endoscopic visualization to
ensure continued entrapment of the polyp. While withdrawing device
from endoscope, wipe secretions from outer sheath.
5. Prepare extracted specimen per institutional guidelines.
