Guidelines for safe use, including package integrity and trained personnel.
Instruction to avoid placing catheter in right atrium or ventricle to prevent severe injury or death.
Permits venous access and catheter introduction into the central circulation.
Currently, no specific contraindications are known for this product.
Device is sterile and single-use; reuse poses serious injury/infection risk.
Awareness of complications like vessel perforation, air embolism, and infection is crucial.
Avoid excessive force during removal; consult for difficult withdrawals.
Luer-Lock connections minimize air embolism risk from inadvertent disconnects.
Keep hemostasis valve occluded to prevent air embolism or hemorrhage.
Guide wire passage into right heart can cause dysrhythmias or perforation.
Be aware of guide wire entrapment with implanted devices; use visualization.
Adhere to OSHA standards for sharps injury and bloodborne pathogen exposure.
Use universal precautions due to risk of HIV and other bloodborne pathogens.
Temporarily shut off ports during blood sampling to minimize contamination.
Avoid suturing directly to catheter OD to prevent damage or flow impedance.
Routinely inspect indwelling catheters for flow, security, and correct connection.
Maintain insertion site with regular, meticulous redressing using aseptic technique.
Alcohol and acetone can weaken polyurethane; avoid direct contact.
Some disinfectants contain solvents; ensure insertion site is dry before dressing.
Dispose of sharps in designated containers per OSHA standards.
Techniques to verify venous access, including waveform analysis.
Aspiration with spring-wire guide in place risks air introduction.
Keep hemostasis valve occluded to prevent air embolism or hemorrhage.
Proper positioning of the catheter contamination shield during insertion.
Securely lock the catheter contamination shield's distal hub to the assembly cap.
Methods for securing the access device, including staple anchoring.
Precautions for removing the access device, avoiding scissors and monitoring for air.
Emphasizes sterile technique, patient positioning, and site preparation.
Use of SharpsAwayII cup for safe, locked disposal of needles to prevent reuse.
Advancing the catheter through the contamination shield and dilator.
Check balloon integrity if flow-directed; do not exceed recommended volume.
Insert dilator into hemostasis valve assembly for placement.
Insert introducer needle, aspirate venous blood for confirmation.
Straighten the 'J' tip of the spring-wire guide by retracting it into the Advancer.
Insert the spring-wire guide tip into the syringe plunger and advance 10 cm.
Advance the spring-wire guide to the desired depth using the Advancer mechanism.
Option to use a straightening tube separately for advancing the spring-wire guide.
Techniques to verify venous access, including waveform analysis.
Aspiration with spring-wire guide in place risks air introduction.
Keep hemostasis valve occluded to prevent air embolism or hemorrhage.
