Patients with altered calcium metabolism (e.g., patients with hyperparathyroidism or chronic renal failure) Individuals requiring hemodialysis Do not use if: The valve has been dropped, damaged, or mishandled in any way, or if there is any sign of deterioration. The expiration date has elapsed.
CAUTION: The RF heating behavior does not scale with static field strength. Devices that do not exhibit detectable heating at one field strength may exhibit high values of localized heating at another field strength. Adverse Events The Trifecta™ Valve with Glide™ Technology is based upon the Trifecta™ Valve design. Therefore, a previous clinical investigation of the Trifecta Valve supports the safety of the Trifecta Valve with Glide Technology.

CAUTION: Do not pass the replica end of the TF2000 sizer through the annulus when sizing the valve. Pre-Implant Handling The valve is supplied in a storage jar with a screw-cap closure and tamper-evident seal.

Figure 6. Slide the retaining collar off the valve holder Rinse Procedure CAUTION: Do not implant the valve without thoroughly rinsing as directed. Within the sterile field prepare two sterile basins with a minimum of 500 mL of sterile isotonic saline in each basin. Holding the valve by the handle, fully immerse the valve, the valve holder, and the portion of the holder handle that was submerged in the valve storage solution, in the sterile isotonic saline solution in the first basin.
