This product is designed for use with the introducer.
3) Using aseptic technique, remove the catheter from the package.
4) Perform vaginal exam to ensure ruptured membranes and adequate dilation.
5) Advance the catheter tip to the cervical os along the examination hand, using the hand as a
guide. Do not advance the introducer through the cervix.
6) Continue to gently advance the catheter tip through the cervical os and feed the catheter
into the intra-amniotic cavity until the 45 cm mark is at the introitus. If the 45cm mark is not
clearly visible, stop advancing when the symbol on the catheter meets the introducer.
NOTE:
For easier insertion, do not twist the catheter in the introducer.
7) The IUPC may be spontaneously filled with amniotic fluid. This can be seen in the clear
lumen of the catheter. The filter cap will prevent the amniotic fluid from leaking.
8) Slide the introducer out of the vagina along the catheter. When the introducer is completely
out of the vagina, slide thumb between catheter and introducer tab, which will begin to
separate the introducer from the catheter.
