Precautions
The Point-Lok
®
device is not considered to be a final sharps container and should be
properly disposed of in an approved sharps collection container.
Any attempts to remove needle from syringe with the unwinder device, should be done
very gently to avoid splattering, spraying, or generation of droplets from the syringe.
Instructions For Use
Place the Point-Lok
®
needle protection device only on a secured flat surface.
Immediately after use of needle, gently insert exposed needle into the
Point-Lok
®
device opening at top of the Point-Lok
®
device.
See illustration (Fig.1)
Push needle into the top opening until it is fully inserted into Point-Lok
®
device. This
action will seal the needle tip and lock the needle firmly into the Point-Lok
®
device. (Fig.2)
Once the Point-Lok
®
device is properly engaged with needle, the needle may be removed
from the syringe with the Point-Lok
®
unwinder device. (Optional/Fig.3)
While firmly holding the Point-Lok
®
device base, slide the unwinder off the Point-Lok
®
device and engage it with the lugged needle Luer. Safely and gently unscrew the needle
from the syringe. (Fig.3) The unwinder is intended only for use with needles that have
lugged Luers.
