4. Imediately after, CalEQ will calibrate the Cordella Sensor for 18 seconds. Do not
adjust the Reader position during this time. A progress bar above the waveform
displays the progress through calibration, and the live waveform will be paused.
5. When prompted, dock the Reader.
6. A report containing Cordella Sensor pressures, reference pressures, a comparison
between them, and the corrected waveform will appear. If the results are
acceptable, press the “Accept” button. If a recalibration seems necessary for any
reason, press the “Calibrate Again” button and repeat the calibration steps.
7. After the procedure, save the
calibration data. If the CalEQ is
connected to the network, select
the “Upload to Cloud” button
and wait for verification that the
upload was successful. If the
CalEQ cannot upload the data,
press “Upload Later” and notify
Customer Support.
8. Remove the Stability Sheath and introducer sheath. Close the venous access
site per standard protocols.
5. Transport
To transport the CalEQ, turn off
the computer. To do this, press the
“Menu” button (three horizontal
lines), select “End Session”, then
select “Power Off”.
Unplug the power strip and wrap
up the power cord. The CalEQ
computer, Docking Station, and
backup Docking Station should
remained plugged into the power strip. The Reader and backup Reader
should remain in the Docking Stations during transport. Lower the CalEQ
screen as far as possible by depressing the foot pedal.
The Reader should be powered off before transport. To transport the
Reader, press and hold the small button located on the bottom of the
Reader, at the base of the handle and adjacent to the power connector,
for several seconds. Depressing the button will disable the audio and
visual cues on the Reader and prevent damage to the batteries. This same
process can be used to Power Off the Reader at any time. To restart the
Reader after transport, press and hold the button again. If the button is
depressed but the Reader doesn’t respond, the battery is likely discharged;
return the Reader to the Docking Station and allow the Reader to charge.
6. Post-Procedure Antiplatelet
Therapy
It is recommended to use dual antiplatelet therapy as per the site’s standard
of care anticoagulation protocol for 30 days post-implant. Endotronix
recommends aspirin and clopidogrel, though prasugrel or ticagrelor can
be used in replacement of clopidogrel. After 30 days, single antiplatelet
therapy with aspirin is recommended indefinitely or until other directives
are provided by the cardiologist.
7. Patient Implant Card
A patient identification card is provided and should be given to the patient
after implantation. Advise patients to keep this card in their possession at
all times.
