8. Temporary storage of the balloon catheter during an operation
Directions for use of balloon protection sheath
CAUTION
8-1 Remove the second balloon protection sheath from the compliance sheet.
8-2 Insert the stylet inside the second balloon protection sheath.
8-3 Insert the stylet and the second balloon protection sheath from the tip of the catheter, and carefully cover the
balloon with the stylet and the second balloon protection sheath.
CAUTION
8-4 When using the catheter, after wetting the second balloon protection sheath at the tip of the catheter in
a physiological saline solution, carefully remove the second balloon protection sheath and stylet without
damaging the balloon.
CAUTION
PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE
Avoid exposure to water, direct sunlight, extreme temperature, or high humidity during storage.

Recommended particulars of the techniques, including the positioning of the guiding catheter and the dilatation
catheter as well as the inflation cycle, may differ largely with patients, depending on their anatomy and the condition of
the lesion. Refer to the following literature for such particulars:

Do not reuse the first balloon protection sheath which is on the catheter, after removing it.
Failure to observe this warning could cause the balloon to not inflate due to balloon deformation
and damage of the shaft.
Do not forcibly insert the second balloon protection sheath.
Lightly twist the balloon and carefully reinsert it.
Do not remove the second balloon protection sheath by force if resistance is encountered.
Forcible removal could cause the balloon to not inflate or deflate.
