Preparing the Catheter
Each Abbott Opticath catheter is packaged in a sterile, disposable tray which
includes a disposable optical reference. Inspect the catheter tray carefully. If you
suspect damage to the tray DO NOT USE THE CATHETER.
Perform the catheter setup according to the instructions included with the
catheter. Setup instructions are included here as a convenience.
1. Peel back the outer wrap. Do not break the seal of the inner wrap.
2. Peel back the lift tab to uncover the optical connector at the end of the tray.
3. Pull the optical connector slightly away from the tray. Place the optical module
in the recess at the open end of the catheter tray.
4. Open the end of the optical module by pulling straight out in the direction of the
arrow (refer to Figure 20-2). The monitor will display an INSUFFICIENT LIGHT
message.
