Gently remove both the coil and microcatheter and replace with new devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Avoid placing the microcatheter within the aneurysm sac where the aneurysm wall may support the microcatheter positioning. This may increase the resistance required to deploy the implant into the aneurysm as the implant exits the catheter. Repositioning the distal tip of the microcatheter or placing the distal tip at the ostium of the aneurysm may be required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 If resistance is encountered while withdrawing a coil that is at an acute angle relative to the microcatheter tip, it is possible to avoid coil stretching or breaking by carefully repositioning the distal tip of the catheter at, or slightly inside, the ostium of the aneurysm. By doing so, the aneurysm and artery act to funnel the coil back into the microcatheter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Multiple embolization procedures may be required to achieve the desired occlusion of some aneurysms or vessels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Probability of occurrence of fluoroscopic complications may increase as procedure time and number of procedures increase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Increased detachment times may occur when:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Other embolic agents are present<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Delivery pusher and microcatheter markers are not properly aligned<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Thrombus is present on the coil detachment zone<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>TrelliX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Detachment Controller<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1642453162751_22476\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<p class=\"\">Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Prior to beginning a procedure, confirm that there are enough TrelliX Detachment Controllers available to complete the anticipated number of coil detachments.

If the TrelliX Detachment Controller is held, take care to gently hold it in a stable position so that it does not slide off of the delivery pusher during detachment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Because coils are not always detached following completion of a cycle, ALWAYS verify for detachment under fluoroscopy prior to removing the TrelliX delivery pusher. Always confirm that the coil has detached by gently and slowly pulling back on the TrelliX delivery pusher while monitoring the fluoro image that there is no coil movement. In the unlikely event the coil moves (indicating attachment to the delivery pusher), check and adjust the flush system, flush the system to clear any contrast that may exist around the detachment zone, verify the system is properly grounded, realign the delivery pusher with the microcatheter, tighten the RHV, and repeat the detachment procedure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 If detachment times are increasing and\/or the patient is experiencing pain at the needle insertion site, replace the needle with a new needle at a new insertion site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may affect the performance of the TrelliX Detachment Controller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2022 If implant fails to detach, to minimize disturbance to the coil placement and delivery pusher, only press the \u201cDetach Button\u201d again to reinitiate.
