Merit Medical Sequitor Steerable Guidewire - Manual (Page 4)

• To aid in rotating or steering the guidewire,
secure the supplied torque device to the
proximal end of the guidewire.
• In order to aid in the selective placement of
the catheter into a particular vessel, gently
rotate the proximal end of the guidewire as it
is advanced forward.
• Use accepted angiographic techniques to
steer the guidewire to the intended location.
Warning: Always maintain visualization of the
guidewire under fluoroscopy, ensuring that the
tip is moving freely when torque is applied.
•
When the desired guidewire position is
achieved, secure the guidewire in place
while tracking the catheter over it and to the
treatment location.
• Once the micro-catheter is in position, gently
remove the guidewire prior to any intervention.
