Radial Anatomy - Allen’s Test
RadiStop Compression Assist Device is contraindicated in
patients who do not have two functional arteries (ulnar and
radial). RadiStop should not be used on patients having an
abnormal Allen’s test.
Example of Allen’s test being performed to confirm presence of ulnar and radial aterial flow.

RadiStop Product Information - Parts
Compression Pad
The transparent compression pad
allows for correct placement and
concentrates pressure directly
over the puncture site.
Support Plate
The improved support plate
provides stable, comfortable
support of the wrist.
5
Straps
Two straps secure the support
plate in position.
New Features
 The new, transparent compression pad allows correct placement over
the puncture site.
 The improved support plate enables controlled positioning before,
during and after the procedure to enable reliable compression and
post hemostasis care.
 Improved comfort for the patient with a slimmer plate design, and
ridges for easing the pressure on the back of the hand.

RadiStop - How To Use
1. Place the patient’s (left or right) hand “palmup”on the support plate. The hand should be in
the same direction as the “hand” symbol on the
support plate. Place the distal strap over the
palm, distal to the thumb, to secure to a
comfortable fit.
2. Secure the proximal strap around the patient’s
forearm. Do not over tighten the proximal strap
as this may cause discomfort.

3. Center the compression pad directly over the
puncture site. Withdraw the introducer sheath just
enough to clear the rim of the compression pad.
Confirm placement through the transparent pad.
Thread the VELCRO® portion of the compression
pad strap through the loop on the compression
pad rim.
4. Hold the thumb firmly on the compression pad
and the fingers securely around the support plate
(“C-grip”).Remove the sheath with the other
hand.
Note: Keep the compression pad level with the
skin surface.

5. Continue to apply manual compression while
securing the VELCRO. Adjust the pressure by
tightening or loosening the compression pad
strap. When hemostasis is achieved, check the
radial pulse distal to the compression pad.

6. Excess portion of the VELCRO strap can be
shortened (thread under the compression pad
strap) or cut, to prevent the VELCRO from
attaching to other fabrics. It is recommended to
maintain pressure per hospital protocol (e.g. a
total of two (2) hours following a diagnostic
procedure and total of four (4) hours following an
interventional procedure).
Warning: Do not leave the system on for extended compression time
as tissue damage may occur.
Once hemostasis is achieved, remove the device and provide
bandaging of the wound as per hospital protocol. The support plate
may be left in place with zero or very low compression pressure on
the puncture site.

How To Use - Summary
1. Place patient’s hand and secure the distal
strap.
2. Secure the proximal strap.
3. Center the compression pad and thread the
VELCRO strap.
4. Remove the sheath while using the “C-grip”.
5. Apply manual compression while adjusting
the pressure with the VELCRO strap.
6. Fold the VELCRO strap and maintain
pressure per hospital protocol.
Warning: Do not leave the system on for extended compression
time, as tissue damage may occur.

Application Protocol
Apply RadiStop
- to achieve hemostasis
Diagnostic
2 Hours
Compression*
Intervention
4 Hours
Compression*
Once total hemostasis has been
established, remove the device.
Bandage the wound as per hospital
protocol.
12
* Maintain pressure to achieve
hemostasis for what would be
considered the routine duration
required for the specific
patient´s anticoagulant level,
the interventional procedure
performed and the sheath
French size used.
RadiStop - Troubleshooting
 Bleeding Occurs
Apply manual compression by holding
the thumb on the compression pad and
the fingers securely around the support
plate while securing the VELCRO.
 Patient Experiences Pain
Apply manual compression by holding
the thumb on the compression pad and
the fingers securely around the support
plate, while adjusting the VELCRO or
the straps.
