)
Quick Reference Guide
Once in place, pull the yellow cylinder
proximally until it stops to extend the
PolyLoop from the plastic sheath.
Remove fingers from the yellow cylinder.
Position the PolyLoop over the polyp at the base
of the stalk, approximately 1-2 mm above the
mucosa. Pull the slider towards the thumb ring
to ligate the tissue. Look at the screen and feel
the resistance in your hand to ensure you do not
transect the polyp stalk. Caution: Do not apply
unnecessary force to the loop when ligating
tissue during the procedure.
With the yellow cylinder still touching the
handle, push the slider to release the
PolyLoop.
If the PolyLoop gets stuck in the tube/coil sheath,
use the Loop Cutter FS-5L/Q/U-1 to cut the
PolyLoop and to detach it from the device.
Refer to instructions on the reverse side for more details.
