Troubleshooting
Delivery Device Disassembly Procedure
If the capsule is attached to the patient’s esophageal tissue, but will not release from the
delivery device, we recommend this procedure.
1. If available, insert an endoscope and confirm tissue has been pinned and the capsule
has not been released from the delivery device. Use care when inserting the
endoscope, and avoid force upon the capsule and the delivery device. Remove
endoscope. If an endoscope is not available, proceed to step 2.
2. See Figure 14. Secure delivery device near biteblock or near nasal passage using a
hemostat clamp. An assistant should continue to firmly hold the shaft of the delivery
device with a hemostat until the release procedure (described below) is completed.
.
Figure 14. Delivery device secured at mouth (or nose, if applicable) using a
hemostat with hand. Keep a firm grip on the hemostat throughout the
release procedure.
Caution
When performing the following steps to remove the capsule, it is
extremely important to minimize movement of the capsule and the
patient. Any movement could cause tissue injury at the site of the
capsule attachment.
Note
For the following steps, moderate force may be needed to
disassemble the Bravo delivery device handle.
Warning
During the disassembly of the handle, position the handle away from
the patient’s face while protecting the patient’s mouth and nose, and
away from the eyes of the patient and nearby staff. Plastic parts may
break off during handle disassembly, resulting in possible injury to the
patient and clinical staff.
