d. Holding the delivery device as straight as possible in a relaxed horizontal
position, stabilize it by the patient’s mouth to make sure that it does not move.
4. Endoscopically check the esophageal inlet to verify the desired placement of the
delivery device in the esophagus. Carefully remove the delivery device immediately
if it has entered the trachea.
5. After proper positioning of the delivery device:
a. Attach the vacuum hose to the handle (Figure 8).
b. Turn on the vacuum source and verify that the gauge reading is the same as
you noted during vacuum setup.
6. After the vacuum level of at least 550 mmHg has been reached and the vacuum
stabilizes, allow 30 seconds for the tissue to fill the suction chamber.
7. Remove the safety tab:
Warning
Do not advance the delivery device into the trachea or lungs.
Advancing the delivery device into the trachea or lungs can cause
possible injury to the patient.
Caution
If the minimum vacuum level (550 mmHg) is not obtained,
reposition the Bravo delivery device to achieve proper vacuum.
Do not allow the delivery device to move during vacuum level
acquisition. Failure to immobilize the delivery device can result in
less than optimal attachment or non-attachment that will require the
vacuum level acquisition process to be repeated.
Caution
Do not proceed without waiting a full 30 seconds. Failure to wait a
full 30 seconds may result in insufficient or no tissue filling the
suction chamber. This can result in the capsule not being securely
attached or not attached to the patient’s esophagus.
