Procedure Guide - Prepration For Use

STEP 01
STEP 01

Insert the ligator handle into the endoscope accessory channel.
Note: The irrigation adapter may be used to puncture the white self-sealing valve prior to introducing the loading catheter.

STEP 02
STEP 02

The firing position allows the handle to be rotated in the forward direction only. The two-way position allows the handle to rotate in both directions.

STEP 03
STEP 03

Introduce either end of the loading catheter through the white seal in the ligator handle and advance, in short increments, until it exits the tip of the endoscope.

STEP 04
STEP 04

Attach the trigger cord, leaving approximately 2 cm of cord between the knot and the hook. Withdraw the loading catheter and trigger cord up through the endoscope and out through the ligator handle.

STEP 05
STEP 05

Secure friction fit adapter of the barrel to the tip of the endoscope, advance as far as possible.
Note: Failure to do so may result in barrel dislodgement. Avoid bands while pushing. When placing the barrel onto the distal end of the endoscope, ensure trigger cord does not become pinched between the barrel and endoscope.

STEP 06
STEP 06

Place the trigger cord into the slot on the spool of the ligator handle and pull down until the knot is seated in the hole of the slot. The knot must be seated into the hole for the handle to function properly.

STEP 07
STEP 07

With the handle in the two-way position, slowly rotate the handle clockwise to wind the trigger cord onto the handle spool.
