Instructions for Use
1. Inspect the packages and products for damage and expiration date.
If undamaged and unexpired, open the packages and transfer the
Starfish Evo Heart Positioner onto the sterile field utilizing aseptic
technique.
2. Suction circuit hook-up:
a. Attach the tubing (not supplied) from the operating room suction
source to the back of the regulator. Turn the regulator on and set
vacuum to (-)400 mm Hg.
b. Utilizing aseptic technique, connect the tubing from the Starfish
Evo Heart Positioner to the luer connection of the canister tubing
set (Figure 2). Connect the other end of the canister tubing set
to the regulator. Utilize the stopcock on the sterile field to control
the vacuum (on-off) during the procedure.

3. Attach the device to the retractor (Figure 3).
a. With the clamp lever in the unlocked position, slide open the
mounting clamp.

retractor. Check that the clamp is securely fastened to the
retractor.

tension.
5. Prior to turning on the vacuum, place the positioning head on the apex
or on the left ventricle immediately proximal to the apex. Turn the
stopcock to the on position to activate suction. Position the heart only
after the device has reached its full vacuum of (-)400 mm Hg.
