CAUTION: Failure to accurately position
the Locator Tool could result in an inability
to adjust the performance setting. The
Locator Tool must be precisely aligned
with both the valve's direction of flow and
the center of the hard valve mechanism
for an accurate adjustment. Alignment can
be more challenging if tissue thickness is
>10 mm above the valve. In these instances,
verify the valve position and orientation with
x-ray or fluoroscopy. Refer to SECTION C:
Troubleshooting and SECTION D: Confirming
the Current Valve Setting.
Note: The Adjustment Tool is equipped with
a mechanical stop between Settings 1 and 8.
This is to prevent inadvertent adjustment
between the extremes of the available settings.
Note: Successful adjustment is accomplished
by starting at the valve's current setting and
moving directly to the desired setting.
8. Remove the Adjustment Tool from the Locator
Tool by lifting it straight upwards a minimum
of 3 cm (1.25 in.) before moving it horizontally
away from the Locator Tool in order to avoid
inadvertently changing the valve setting.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 to confirm successful
adjustment of the performance setting.
Always confirm the desired performance
setting of the valve.
10. If the desired performance setting is not
achieved, repeat Steps 7 through 9.
11. It is recommended to record the valve setting in
the patient's record and I.D. wallet card (available
from local Integra sales representative).
12. Disinfect the tool kit components (see
Disinfecting the CODMAN CERTAS Tool Kit).
