AngioDynamics C3 WAVE SYSTEM Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 6

• White ECG snap lead/ECG adhesive electrode on patient's right
upper chest.
Caution: If skin irritation occurs, discontinue ECG adhesive
electrode use immediately.
C. Evaluate baseline ECG waveform.
•
With the C3 Wave system running in Surface Mode, the external
ECG waveform should be visible and stable at this time.
•
Verify that the P-wave is present, identifiable and consistent on
the main screen of the C3 Wave system.
•
Obtain snapshot of baseline ECG
• Enter surface external measurement. (See Step 3-D).
4. Prepare Sterile Field.
A. Set up sterile field according to catheter Instructions for Use
and institutional protocol.
B. Cover the Remote Control with sterile Cover (provided in the C3
Wave ECG Cable Accessory Pack).
5. Prepare Catheter.
A. Follow catheter manufacturer's Instructions for Use and
institutional protocol.
B. Trim catheter to length per the following steps.
1. Determine the desired indwelling catheter length based
on clinician measurement technique and experience,
typically this is the measurement from the zero mark on
the catheter to the predetermined catheter external Surface
Measurement, See Step 3-D.
2. To ensure adequate catheter length to reach maximum
P-wave amplitude, it is recommended that the trimmed
catheter length is 2cm more than the external/surface
measurement.
3. Retract the stylet until it is well behind the targeted catheter
cut location. Do not entirely remove the stylet from the
catheter.
Note: Catheter depth markings are generally in centimeters –
refer to catheter labeling.
4. Follow catheter manufacturer's Instructions for Use for
trimming.
Caution: NEVER cut the stylet or stiffening wire.
5. Inspect cut surface to ensure there is no loose material.
6. Ensure stylet tip is intact.
Caution: Never use excessive force to advance/remove the
stylet as it may damage the device or result in patient injury.
C. Prior to catheter insertion, ensure that the stylet tip is
contained within the catheter, but not more than 1 cm from the
trimmed end of the catheter, secure stylet within the catheter
manufacturer's Instructions.
