Handling And Disposal; Technical Specifications - St.Jude Medical PressureWire Aeris Mode D'emploi

How to verify pressure measurement
1. Carefully withdraw PressureWire until the sensor element is positioned just outside the
catheter opening. Verify that the pressures registered by the guiding catheter and
PressureWire are equal.
How to finish procedure
1. Carefully withdraw PressureWire. Turn off the Transmitter.

Handling and disposal

1. Handle and dispose PressureWire as biohazardous material and in accordance with medi-
cal and applicable local, state and federal law and regulations.
2. The battery can be removed by opening the end cap using e.g. forceps in the slits under the
label.
CAUTION: The transmitter is powered by a standard Li-ion battery. Li-ion batteries can contain a
small concentration of 1,2-Dimethoxyethane. Do not open the battery or disassemble it. Do not ex-
pose to fire or high temperatures (>60°C). Dispose battery according to standard local practice for
Li-ion batteries.
