How to Prep for Abbott Navitor TAVR Valve

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Jen White and Dave Tyler from Abbott demonstrate loading a Navator Vision valve onto a FluxNav delivery system. They begin by rinsing the sterile valve in two bowls, preparing loading tools in a third bowl, and verifying package integrity and expiration dates. They assemble the loading base with the correct valve insert, lubricate the system, and insert the valve carefully aligning retainer tabs. They use a stent guide and loading funnel to secure the valve, flush and de-air the system, and check for proper alignment of stent struts. After removing bubbles with a leaflet tester, they slowly recapture the valve, flush the system ports, and confirm everything is stable. The fully loaded system is then ready for use.
