CHAPTER 1: PHYSICAL/MECHANICAL OVERVIEW
Pathway
®
Intracavity Sensors (Part #6330, Part #6320, and Part #6340)
Connecting the Pathway
®
Preamplier to the Pathway
®
Adapter: Open the Velcro
sleeve of the Pathway
®
Adapter (Part #3660), and match the female snaps on the end
of the Pathway
®
Preamplier (Part #2583) with the male snaps of the Pathway
®
Adapter
(Part #3660), connect and tightly re-wrap the Velcro sleeve ensuring the Pathway
®
Preamplier stays secure.
Connecting the Pathway
®
Sensor(s) to the Pathway
®
Adapter: To connect the
sensor(s) into the Pathway
®
Adapter (Part #3660), take the sensor plug end
(male six-pin mini din connector) with at side up, then take the Pathway
®
Adapter (Part
#3660), noting the notched top of the connector input (also at side up), push sensor
plug end straight into the Pathway
®
Adapter connector input to make the male/female
connection. Push rmly and do not twist.
Lubrication: Refer to the “Directions for Use” section of the Pathway
®
Sensor
packaging product insert for lubrication instructions.
Pathway
®
Sensor Placement (Part #6330 & Part #6320): For proper orientation of
the sensing surfaces, insert the Pathway
®
Vaginal EMG/Stimulation Sensor
(Part #6330) or the Pathway
®
Vaginal/Rectal EMG Sensor (Part #6320) into the vagina
so the sensor base rests up against the labia and the tab is pointed up toward the
pubis. (See Figure 5 below).

Sensor (Part #6330)
The two active (ACT) sensing surfaces are
located at 10 and 2 o’clock.
The single ground (GND) sensing surface is
located at 6 o’clock.
For Pathway
®
Sensor (Part #6320)
The two active (ACT) sensing surfaces are
located at 9 and 3 o’clock.
The single ground (GND) sensing surface is
located at 12 o’clock.
