for catheter placement and removal:
1. Check that the catheter will pass through the cannula immediately before use.
2. The tip of the cannula can be damaged by bone contact during insertion.
If a catheter is passed through a cannula that is damaged in this way, it can
itself become damaged. If this happens, use a new cannula.
3. Once the catheter has left the tip of the cannula, do not retract the catheter
as there is a risk of shearing.
4. If the procedure is interrupted, remove the catheter and the cannula
together if possible.
5. If flow is impeded, check the locking mechanism of the Clamping Adapter.
6. When using catheters with a closed tip and lateral openings, extend the
catheter at least 15 mm (no more than 50 mm) beyond the tip of the needle
to ensure unimpeded injection.
7. Never insert the catheter more than 50 mm. It is more likely to become
knotted if it is inserted more than 50 mm.
8. Ensure that the catheter is not kinked on fixing.
9. Be sure to check the connection between the catheter and the infusion
devices regularly.
10. Do not tug the catheter or pull it sharply when removing it from the patient.
11. Do not exert excessive force when removing the catheter. Do not continue
to pull the catheter if it starts to stretch too much.
12. If you detect resistance while removing the catheter, do not withdraw it
any further. If necessary, reposition the patient. Then try to withdraw the
catheter again. If this is still difficult, investigate with fluoroscopy or an X-ray
before taking any further action.
13. After removing the catheter, check the distal tip to see whether it is com-
plete. The tip should be intact. Only in this case can you be sure that the
entire catheter has been removed.
for injection:
1. Always ensure that the injection site is aseptic.
2. Do not administer drugs that are not indicated for the intended use.
3. Be sure to check the connection between the cannula / catheter and the
infusion device regularly.
for use with other compatible products:
1. When using multiple components, familiarise yourself with their operation
before use by checking connections and passages (cannulas, adapters).
2. When connecting the catheter to the Clamping Adapter, always make sure
that the catheter is fully inserted into the Clamping Adapter as far as the stop
(at least as far as the orientation mark). Never preflush before making the
connection.
