30. Slide the catheter lumen (A) into the hub (B). If the compression ring (C)
dislodges from the hub, slide it over catheter lumen (A). The arrow indicator
on the compression ring must be pointed upward, toward gasket (D) on the
catheter extension.
Note: A replacement compression ring is included in the kit.
31. Align the arterial (Red) and venous (Blue) lumen printing with like color
clamps of the extension assembly and insert the metal cannula of the catheter
extension (E) into the catheter lumen (A). The catheter lumen must be FULLY
seated against the gasket (D) on the catheter extension (until no metal is
visible).
32. Slide compression ring (C) toward end of catheter lumen (A) until seated as
shown.
Caution: Compression ring MUST be fully seated.
33. Slide the hub (B) into the end of the catheter extension (E) and press hub
arms together firmly around the extension base. A gentle tug will assure
proper assembly.
Caution: Hub arms MUST be fully engaged.
34. Attach syringes to the 14F Split Cath
the temporary lumen clamp from the catheter. Blood should aspirate easily
from the catheter. If the catheter exhibits excessive resistance to blood
aspiration, the catheter may need to be rotated or repositioned to sustain
adequate blood flow.
35. Once adequate aspiration has been achieved, the extension should be irrigated
with heparin filled syringes using quick bolus technique. Assure that
extension clamps are open for irrigation procedure.
Caution: Assure that all air has been aspirated from catheter and the 14F Split
Cath Rg extension. Failure to do so may result in air embolism.

36. Once the catheter is locked with heparin, close the extension clamps and
remove the syringes, and install the injection caps onto the extension's female
luers.
37. Confirm proper tip placement with fluoroscopy. The distal venous tip should
be positioned at the level of the caval atrial junction or into the right atrium to
ensure optimal blood flow (as recommended in current NKF DOQI Guidelines).
Note: Femoral catheter tip placement is recommended at the junction of the iliac
vein and the inferior vena cava.
