STEP 7 To inflate the balloon, squeeze the trigger allowing the plunger to return to the resting position (0 ATM/BAR). Release grip on the trigger, locking the plunger into position. STEP 1 Prior to use, free the plunger tip by twisting the device plunger/handle 360 degrees clockwise. STEP 3 Remove any excess air by orienting the device upwards, squeezing the trigger located on the device handle and pushing the handle forward. Push forward until the device plunger tip is oriented with the black arrow printed on the device barrel (approximately 35 mL). 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 5 6 STEP 2 To prep device, squeeze the trigger and pull back on the handle to aspirate up to 60 mL of contrast solution into the syringe. CAUTION: Inspect the device tubing and stopcock (if used) to ensure there is no air in the system. STEP 4 Prepare and test the balloon catheter according to the catheter manufacturer’s instructions for use. NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer’s directions accompanying the balloon dilation catheter, or other interventional device, for specific information on use, maximum inflation pressure, precautions, and warnings for that device. STEP 5 Create a fluid-fluid connection between the balloon and the inflation device extension tube and connect the luer connectors securely. STEP 6 Squeeze the trigger and pull back on the handle to apply vacuum to the balloon. STEP 8 To increase pressure, rotate the handle clockwise until the desired inflation pressure is reached. The locking mechanism maintains the pressure. CAUTION: Do not exceed 12 ATM. NOTE: Loss of pressure may indicate a leak in the system. STEP 9 To deflate the balloon, rotate the handle counter-clockwise to relieve pressures above 6 ATM. Squeeze the trigger and pull the handle back to generate negative pressure. Release the grip on the trigger to lock the plunger in the negative pressure position.
