VACUUM-ASSISTED VAGINAL DELIVERY GUIDELINES
1.
Check the integrity of the MityOne Obstetrical
Vacuum-Assist Delivery System by pressing the cup to the palm
of your gloved hand and applying vacuum. The gauge needle should
remain steady. (NOTE: The gauge needle should rest in
the "ZERO" box when vacuum is not applied.)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE DEVICE IF GAUGE NEEDLE DOES
NOT INDICATE ZERO IN THE ABSENCE OF A VACUUM.
2.
Carefully examine fetal presentation
and position prior to positioning the
cup over the flexion point.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
PRODUCT IF FLEXION POINT IS
NOT ACCESSIBLE.
3.
Wipe the scalp as clean as
possible.
4.
To insert the M-Style Mushroom
Cup, fold the cup against the stem
at a 90° angle (see Figure 1).
5.
With the stem in the bent
position, grasp the mushroom
shaped portion of the cup
with the fingers. The stem
should be parallel to palm
and wrist. Separate the labia
with the other hand.
Continuing with the stem in
the bent position, press the
cup portion downward and
inward over the fourchette to
make contact with the fetal scalp.
Apply the center of the cup over the flexion point (see Figure 2).
The flexion point can be located by identifying the posterior
fontanelle and then moving the finger anteriorly along the sagittal
suture approximately 1.2 in. (3 cm). The sagittal suture should
pass under the middle of the cup.
CAUTION: NEVER APPLY THE CUP TO ANY PORTION OF
THE INFANT'S FACE.
