Chapter 4: Preparing for a Case
This chapter describes the steps to prepare the system for use. This procedure should be
followed prior to each case. Please refer to the previous chapter for system settings.
Overview
The following should be performed in preparation prior to each IVUS case:
Turn system power on
Lock the rolling casters
Ensure that the PIM is attached
Prepare the catheter
Connect the catheter to the PIM
Connect ECG input
Enter patient information
Have a DVD-R ready
Ensure System Power is On
Turn the system on by using the power button located on the front of the workstation.
The monitor displays several messages regarding initialization. If an error occurs during
initialization, an information box provides detailed information about the problem to
expedite service. Please contact Volcano technical support if an error is encountered.
NOTE 1: The printer, controller, and monitor will receive power once the power cord is
connected to the appropriate wall outlet. However, the system will need to be turned on
by pressing the main system power button, located on the lower front panel prior to use.
NOTE 2: After the system power button has been pressed, the monitor will cycle through
several start-up messages before it is ready for use (approximately two minutes).
Equipotentiality: This symbol on the system rear electrical panel identifies the
connector where the hospital room’s potential equalization system can be
connected during intracardiac applications. The Isolation Transformer ground in
the CORE Mobile system is connected to the ground on the Connector Panel
through the CPU by an 8AWG green and yellow striped wire. (Equipotentiality
cords are available from Volcano Service: PN 804768001 singled ended, PN
804769001 double ended.)
