moving the patient into the MR system

kçíÉK=This information applies only to the use of guidewires in the
Seldinger technique of catheter placement in the vasculature.
t~êåáåÖë
The supplied guidewire is designed for single use only. Do not resterilize
or reuse. Do not reinsert, once removed from the patient.
Should resistance occur during insertion or withdrawal, do not continue
to move the guidewire. Determine the cause under fluoroscopy and
take action as needed.
Use extreme caution when moving a guidewire through a stent. Use of
a guidewire in stented vessels creates additional patient risk.
`~ìíáçåë
Avoid withdrawing the guidewire through metal needles; the guidewire
may shear.
Because of the delicate and fragile nature of guidewires, extra care in
handling must be taken. Avoid bending or kinking. Do not use dam-
aged guidewires.
During storage or procedures, avoid coiling the guidewire in less than 8
inch (20.32 cm) diameters, as smaller diameters place unnecessary
stress on the guidewire and may cause it to kink. The provided dis-
penser is the best means of storage and handling of the guidewire.
Sufficient guidewire length must remain exposed to maintain a firm
grip on the guidewire at all times.

Every guidewire is provided in a dispenser package. Remove the guide-
wire anti-migration clip before dispensing the guidewire. Remove the
guidewire protective cap immediately prior to guidewire use. Prepare
the guidewire prior to insertion. It is recommended that the dispenser
be filled with heparinized solutions (e.g. saline or dextrose) to bathe the
guidewire during insertion.
The preformed "J" guidewire will resume its shape when removed from
the product dispenser.

Inspect the guidewire prior to use and discard if any deformities are
present in the guidewire. Guidewire placement should be routinely
monitored by x-ray or fluoroscopic procedure.

1.
Puncture the vessel.
2.
Insert the guidewire into the needle hub and gently advance
5-10 cm of the guidewire into the punctured vessel. Navigate the
guidewire to the desired position.
`~ìíáçåK=Avoid rough or overly vigorous manipulation of the
guidewire to prevent damage to the guide or the vessel.
3.
Remove the needle from the guidewire.
4.
Dilate the tissue and vessel with the dilator using a slight rotary
motion.
5.
Remove the dilator (the vessel dilator is intended for vascular
dilation only).
6.
Introduce the catheter by sliding it over the guidewire.
7.
Remove the guidewire.
