If the loop is not perpendicular to the shaft when extended from the sheath, completely retract the loop into the sheath and re-extend catheter.

The catheter should be passed from a peripheral vessel to the desired endocardiac position with the aid of fluoroscopy. Compatible navigation and

visualization systems may be used in conjunction with fluoroscopy.

To adjust the curve of the distal tip on the uni-directional catheter, push or pull the thumb control located on the handle. To adjust the curve of the

distal tip on the bi-directional catheter, use the actuator to deflect the catheter in either direction.

NOTE: The bi-directional handle has an adjustable tension control knob that allows the operator to use the actuator and deflectable section in an

unlocked state or adjust the tension to where the actuator and deflectable section are locked in place. The amount of friction increases as the

knob is rotated clockwise until it reaches the fully plus (+) position.
