Medtronic Piton Y-Adaptor

The Medtronic Piton Ydaptor is to be used to facilitate the use of catheters and guide wires during interventional procedures
The Ydaptor with hemostasis valve is designed to be used on a guiding catheter or dilatation catheter to control back bleeding and to provide a port for introduction of fluids into the interventional system
This instrument is designed for use by physicians engaged in the practice of a specialised branch of medicine
Improper tightening of the connection between the Ydaptor and accompanying equipment may result in introduction of air into the vascular system
The device is meant for single patient use
strong> Instructions to use Ydaptor with guiding catheter:
Thread the dilation catheter through the hole in the cap of the Ydaptor
Flush thoroughly to remove air
Advance the dilatation catheter into the guiding catheter
To join rotating connector of the Ydaptor (with the dilatation catheter passing through it) to the guiding catheter, vigorously flush forward through the adaptor to remove air while allowing back bleeding through the guiding catheter. This will permit a fluidluid interface while the adaptor is attached to the guiding catheter.
Instructions to use Ydaptor with dilatation catheter:
Attach the rotating connector to the hub of the dilatation catheter
Flush thoroughly to remove any air that might be trapped in the device
Insert the distal tip of the appropriate guide wire into the hub of the guide wire insertion tool. Insert the guide wire insertion tool through the Ydaptor and advance the guide wire into the desired device
Remove the guide wire insertion tool, and tighten down the Ydaptor hemostasis valve until no back bleeding is ebident
