Figure 5. Insert the stylet into the fixation tool Test the Mechanical Operation of the Helix with the Fixation Tool Before implanting the lead, the mechanical operation of the helix should be tested. With both thumbscrews secured and with the fixation tool in one hand, hold the lead stationary with the other hand. Use the thumb and forefinger to rotate only the gray portion of the tool clockwise (in the direction of the arrow on the tool marked "FIXATE").
Test the Mechanical Operation of the Helix with the Clip-On Tool For information on using the clip-on tool, see Secure the Tip with the Clip-On Tool (page 8). Using the Vein Lifter A vein lifter is supplied to facilitate the introduction of the lead into a free-standing vein. Insert the tip of the vein lifter into the vein incision and gently lift it while introducing the lead underneath, into the vein.
Figure 9. Atrial lead placement With the clip-on tool or the fixation tool, extend the helix so that the lead is fixed to the atrial wall. Retract the entire stylet from the lead with a smooth and steady motion. Check that the lead is properly anchored by introducing more of it into the heart until the loop that forms either lies on the bottom of the atrium, or is about to enter the inferior vena cava or the right ventricle.
Figure 11. Open the clip-on tool Insert lead into notch Figure 12. Extend the helix by rotating the clip-on tool clockwise Secure the Tip with the Fixation Tool As an alternative to the clip-on tool, the fixation tool may be used to extend or retract the helix. After the fixation site has been selected, hold the lead body stationary in one hand and turn the distal (gray) section of the fixation tool clockwise (in the direction marked "FIXATE").
Figure 13. Extension and retraction of the helix Helix fully extended Helix fully retracted Marker ring Electrically active helix Once fixation is verified, loosen the proximal thumbscrew on the fixation tool and carefully withdraw the stylet under fluoroscopic observation. The lead tip should remain in position. Exercise caution during stylet retraction to avoid dislodging the lead. Retraction of the J-shaped stylet may be more difficult than retraction of a straight stylet.
If the lead or any portion of it is extracted, handle it according to local regulations. Clean the explanted device with disinfectant and return it to St. Jude Medical for investigation and safe disposal. For safety reasons, we recommend that all used leads be enclosed in a protective cover.
