This device is intended for one time use only. Read instructions
prior to use.
NOTE: Text highlighted in gray refers to introducer
models with side port only.
Indications
For the introduction of various types of catheters.
Warnings
This product is sensitive to light. Do not use if stored

outside the protective outer carton. Store in a cool,
dark, and dry place.
Infusion through the side port can be done only after all

air is removed from the unit.
Precautions
Do not alter this device in any way.

Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the

order of a physician.
Aspiration and saline flushing of the sheath, dilator, and valve

should be performed to help minimize the potential for air
embolism and clot formation.
Indwelling introducer sheaths should be internally supported

by a catheter, electrode, or dilator.
Dilators and catheters should be removed slowly from the

sheath. Rapid removal may damage the valve members result-
ing in blood flow through the valve. Never advance or withdraw
guide wire or sheath when resistance is met. Determine cause
by fluoroscopy and take remedial action.
When injecting or aspirating through the sheath, use the

side port only.
Use Sterile Technique
1. Peel open package and place contents on sterile field.
2. Prep skin and drape in area of anticipated veni-puncture as
desired.
3. Distend the subclavian vein or internal jugular vein. The sub-
clavian vein is difficult to locate unless it is distended by raising
the patients legs to a 45° angle or by using the Trendelenburg
position. The vein will be much easier to locate if the patient
is well hydrated.
4. Insert needle into vessel. The needle position should be veri-
fied by observing venous blood return. (Puncture the vein as
medially as possible, by entering just lateral to the ligament
which joins the clavicle and the first rib.)
