PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Vanguard Fixed Loop Diagnostic Catheter NAV eco BWN and the Vanguard Variable Loop Diagnostic
Catheter NAV eco BWO consists of a torsion-resistant shaft and proximally a steerable area (curvature) with a
width-adjustable loop (only the Vanguard Variable Loop Diagnostic Catheter NAV eco BWO) with several
attached electrodes. This catheter is intended for temporary intracardiac recording of potentials, stimulation of
the heart during electrophysiological examinations and for mapping of the heart's atrial structures.
The curvature of the proximal shaft area is controlled by a movable plunger with a thumb knob in the hand
piece of the catheter. To adjust the curvature, the thumb knob is pushed forward. When the thumb knob is in
the rear position, the curvature is straight. The loop width can be adjusted (only the Vanguard Variable Loop
Diagnostic Catheter NAV eco BWO ) within a certain range using a rotary knob. To constrict the loop, turn the
knob in clockwise direction, and turn it in counter-clockwise direction to expand the loop.
An extension cable with an appropriate plug connector should be used to connect it to a suitable standard
recording device.
