Overview and Use of System Overall System Setup
  • Description

  • The Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device is designed to guide you with CVAD tip placement to an area within the lower third of the SVC.
  • The device provides real-time tip location information of CVADs via utilization of ECG to observe P-wave changes as the catheter tip is advanced through the SVC and approaches the sinoatrial (SA) node and right atrium of the heart.
  • The device can be used with various brands and types of CVADs:

  • PICCs  
    CICCs
    • Acute hemodialysis catheters
    • Central venous catheters (CVC)
    • Ports
  • The device can be used with two optional modules:
    • Ultrasound
    • TipTracker™ Navigation
WARNING
  • DANGER! DO NOT use this device in the presence of flammable anesthetics, oxygen-enriched atmospheres, or explosive gases.
  • This device has not been tested for use near electrosurgical devices. It is not recommended for use in operating rooms.

For more information about the individual accessories, and general operation instructions please see the Operators Manual DLX-200-OPM-XX. (For a complete list of all language specific Operator Manuals, see the "Operator Manuals" section in "Replacement Accessories".)

Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device Ratings Hipot Testing Current Leakage Testing Current Leakage Test Settings Table & Pass Criteria
  • Information

  • Monitor Rating: Rated type CF patient protection. Icon-CF
  • External Power Supply Rating: Class I, medical grade external Power Supply.
  • Information

  • The Hipot test is performed during manufacturing to ensure the insulation within the power supply is functioning as intended.
  • It is not required to repeat this test after servicing.
  • Information
  • Equipment Requirements
  • Earth Leakage Test
  • Patient Leakage Test
  • Perform Tests

  • Teleflex recommends following standard local testing procedures appropriate for local regulatory requirements to measure the leakage current of the Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device as a whole system including the VPS Rhythm® DLX Device Monitor, Power Supply, and Remote Control.
  • If there is no standard local Current Leakage testing protocol, the following information can be used as a guideline for testing using local test equipment.

  • A non-conductive table for performing the test.
  • DLX monitor should be removed from any cart it may be mounted to.
  • Recommended access to 220V-265V AC Outlet, or a step-up transformer to obtain a voltage in this range.
  • Programmable Current Leakage Tester pre-programmed with the settings listed in the Current Leakage Test Settings Table.
  • Test Probe accessory for the Current Leakage Tester.

  • Connect Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device Power Supply and appropriate Power Cord to the rear of the Monitor.
  • Connect the Remote Control to the white connector on the rear of the Monitor.
  • Connect the Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device Power Cord to the Line Leakage Tester.
  • Connect the Line Leakage tester to an appropriate outlet, step-up transformer, or other power source capable of outputting 220V-265V.
NOTES
  • The Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device has a DC plug that connects to the Arrow® VPS Rhythm® DLX Device Monitor. Therefore, no ground lug connection is required.
  • The exact connections will vary depending on the Line Leakage Tester and whether a step-up Transformer or other external AC Power Supply is being utilized to achieve a voltage in the range of 220V-265V.
  • For the Earth Leakage testing there is no need to connect the Hi Probe lead from the Line Leakage tester to anything.
HW-Test_EST_Setup_ELT
Zoom

  • Since the TipTracker™ Stylet which connects to the Remote Control Stereo Connector is placed inside the body, the leakage to this connection is tested rather than the ECG connectors which are external only.
  • There is no need to connect the ECG leads to the Monitor or tester, but if they are connected, the readings are equivalent.
