INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
NotE: Prior to using the components of this set, it is necessary to place
gastropexy securement devices and gain percutaneous access to the stomach
through the abdominal wall.
1. Under fluoroscopic or endoscopic visualization, insert and advance
the 0.038" 100 cm wire guide through the percutaneous access needle
cannula. Advance the wire guide far enough to ensure the flexible portion
of the wire guide is within the stomach, well past the insertion tract.
2. While maintaining wire guide position, withdraw and remove the needle
cannula.
3. Use a scalpel to create a dermatotomy alongside the wire guide at the
insertion site, extending through the subcutaneous tissue and fascia.
4. Activate the hydrophilic coating on the dilators by wiping them with a
gauze sponge soaked with saline.
5. While maintaining wire guide position, advance the smallest diameter
dilator over the wire and across the tract. Advance the dilator until the full
diameter of the dilator has passed through the tract.
6. While maintaining wire guide position, remove the dilator.
7. Repeat step 5 with the remaining dilators, progressing from the smallest
diameter to the largest. NotE: When using the IPSG-L set, the 24 French
dilator is optional when placing the 22 French sheath.
8. Once the final dilator is removed, insert the appropriately sized Peel-Away
sheath and dilator over the wire guide, while maintaining wire guide
position.
9. Confirm endoscopically or fluoroscopically that the distal end of the Peel-
Away sheath is through the percutaneous tract and positioned within the
stomach.
10. While maintaining position of the Peel-Away sheath, remove the dilator
and wire guide.
11. Place the gastrostomy device through the Peel-Away sheath and position
the device within the stomach.
12. While maintaining position of the gastrostomy device, grasp the
arms of the Peel-Away sheath and separate the sheath material while
withdrawing the material.
13. Activate the gastrostomy device's securement mechanism.
14. Continue with the procedure per instructions of the gastrostomy device
being utilized.
