Replacing a disposable inner Cannula

(DCFN, DCFS, DCT, DFEN, PERC)
The Disposable Inner Cannula (DIC) system eliminates
the need to clean the inner cannula. The snap-lock fea-
ture provides a secure connection and makes it easy to
insert and remove the DIC with little or no discomfort.
1. Wash your hands.
2. Hold the neck flange steady with one hand.
3. With the other hand, gently squeeze the snap-lock and
pull the inner cannula out of the tube, using a downward
motion.
4. Throw away the used inner cannula.
5. Gently squeeze the snap-lock of the new inner can-
nula and insert it into the tube. Release the snap-lock
connector when it securely locks onto both sides of the
connector rim.
