Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't the simulator capturing my tools when I insert them?
The tool is damaged, is not entering
carriage capture mechanism, or the
capture mechanism is not
functioning.

Verify that the tool has been selected within the
simulation software. Tools must be selected prior to
insertion, so that the SmartCapture™ mechanism will
know which carriage should 'capture' the incoming tool.
If the tool appears not to capture within the carriage,
attempt to twist and advance the tool, multiple times, if
necessary. The tip of the tool may be 'catching' on the
transition 'funnel' at the entrance of each carriage. This
occurs especially when the tool is curved or bent).
If multiple attempts fail to capture, remove the tool and
inspect it to verify that the tool is not bent, broken or
kinked. Even small curves/kinks may prevent the tool
from capturing successfully in the device. Re-test
capture with a new/undamaged tool. If this new tool fails
to capture;
Open the lid of the CathLabVR™ device and inspect the
carriage where the wire/tool is to be captured. If the
carriages are not in their 'home' positions, (see above),
they cannot open and capture a tool. Manually slide the
carriage until it is in contact with the carriage to its right
or against the far right of the device, ('home' position),
and try to insert/capture the tool again. Note that
between carriages #3 and #4 there is a "guide tube" to
help direct the guide wire into carriage #4. If this tube is
bent/damaged, the wire may not be able to enter
carriage #4. If this occurs, please contact CAE for
assistance.
If the tool is inserted into the carriage properly and
slowly, and the carriage does not attempt to capture the
wire/tool, exit the simulation and reselect the module.
