HK-GDQ reusable stabilizer frame.

Choose between an adjustable ball-joint configuration and a straight-rod configuration. HK-GDQ provides the reusable support structure; the compatible SF working end is selected separately.

Cleaning, inspection, sterilization, compatible working ends, and mounting hardware should follow the current IFU and technical documentation.

Quick Answer

A reusable frame—not the tissue-contact working end.

The page separates the reusable support structure from the disposable SF foot, avoiding the old wording that treated HK-GDQ as a complete standalone equivalent to the single-use Heart Stabilizer.

What it is

Reusable support frame

A structural positioning frame used with a compatible SF working end.

What it is not

Not the stabilizer foot

HK-GDQ itself does not perform the tissue-contact function.

Mounting

Bedside / table-side discussion

It does not require the disposable suture holder as its mounting base.

Reuse

IFU-led reprocessing

No numerical reuse-cycle claim is published on this page.

System Relationship

Reusable frame plus compatible disposable working end.

HK-GDQ configuration

The reusable frame provides support, adjustment, and positioning. A compatible SF working end is selected separately according to the documented configuration.

HK-GDQ reusable frame + compatible SF working end = selected reusable stabilization configuration
Q vs Z Configurations

Two connection geometries for different positioning discussions.

HK-GDQ-Q adjustable ball-joint reusable stabilizer frame
Adjustable Connection

HK-GDQ-Q

Ball-joint configuration for adjustable positioning of the support frame and compatible working-end interface.

Confirm locking method, mounting hardware, permitted working ends, and reprocessing instructions.
HK-GDQ-Z straight-rod reusable stabilizer frame
Straight-Rod Connection

HK-GDQ-Z

Straight-rod configuration for a more standardized support geometry in documented cardiac stabilization workflows.

Confirm holding arrangement, working-end interface, and current model documentation.
Shared Boundary

Frame and foot are separate

Both frame variants require a compatible disposable SF working end where documented. The frame itself is not the tissue-contact component.

Do not present every SF foot as automatically compatible without checking the current matrix.
Mounting Discussion

Evaluate the bedside or table-side support arrangement.

The previous page incorrectly centered the disposable suture holder as the mounting base. The revised page reflects the separate HK-GDQ support pathway.

Step 01

Confirm the frame

Select Q or Z according to the required positioning geometry and current technical file.

Step 02

Confirm the holding arrangement

Review the compatible bedside or table-side support hardware during technical evaluation.

Step 03

Confirm the working end

Match the frame to a permitted SF working end and applicable IFU.

Important: HK-GDQ does not require HK-FXG-Q as its mounting base. Third-party hardware should not be described as compatible until dimensions, locking, load path, and documentation have been verified.
Reusable Instrument Management

Reprocessing is document-led, not cycle-count-led.

Supply

Supplied non-sterile

The reusable frame requires hospital preparation before use according to the current IFU.

Between Uses

Clean, inspect, and sterilize

Follow validated reprocessing instructions and institutional procedures.

Service Life

Inspect condition—not a website number

This page does not publish a numerical reuse-cycle claim. Retirement criteria should follow the approved documentation.

Public status

HK-GDQ is presented as CE MDR Class I reusable. This status belongs to the reusable support frame and should not be merged with the CE Class III or FDA listing status of the single-use Heart Stabilizer.

FAQ

HK-GDQ questions.

What is HK-GDQ?

HK-GDQ is a reusable cardiac stabilizer support frame. It provides structural support and positioning for a compatible disposable SF working end. The frame is not the tissue-contact foot.

What is the difference between HK-GDQ-Q and HK-GDQ-Z?

HK-GDQ-Q uses an adjustable ball-joint connection, while HK-GDQ-Z uses a straight-rod structure. Selection should follow the required positioning geometry, compatible working end, mounting arrangement, and current documentation.

Does HK-GDQ require the disposable suture holder as its mounting base?

No. The HK-GDQ reusable frame is evaluated with a compatible bedside or table-side support arrangement and does not require the disposable suture holder as its mounting base. The exact hardware should be confirmed during technical evaluation.

Which SF working ends can be used with HK-GDQ?

The source page presents the SF working-end family as shared with HK-GDQ where supported by AeroMed configuration and distributor documentation. The exact permitted pairing must be confirmed against the current IFU and model matrix.

How many times can HK-GDQ be reused?

This website does not publish a numerical reuse-cycle claim. Cleaning, inspection, disinfection, sterilization, and service-life decisions should follow the current IFU, validated reprocessing documentation, and hospital procedure.

What is the CE status of HK-GDQ?

HK-GDQ is presented as CE MDR Class I reusable. Current certificate, declaration, IFU, model list, and reprocessing documents are available to qualified partners.
