How do I prepare catheters/guidewires for shipment?
When preparing EP catheters for shipment, cut off the end with the electrodes and trim them close to the electrodes. Guidewires can be trimmed just above the soldered joint where the Pt tip is attached to the stainless and/or plastic wire. Trimming the wires and catheters in this way decreases processing time and makes more efficient use of postage and packaging material, but is not mandatory.
