1. Grasp the Needle Insertion Device’s handle, lift straight up until it stops, then rotate
counter-clockwise until it stops. Release the handle; the Needle Insertion Device will
remain in position providing access to the Vial Shield Compartment.
WARNING: Puncture hazard. The SAS contains needles. To prevent injury, take
care when handling the SAS to control the needles. Dispose of the needles per
individual facility guidelines.
2. Insert the Vial Shield containing a Multi-Dose Vial of RP into the Vial Shield Compartment.
DO NOT remove the Vial Shield’s Access Cap. Leave the carrying handle on the Vial
Shield until ready to insert the SAS Needles into the vial.
3. When ready to insert the SAS Needles into the Multi-Dose Vial, remove the Access Cap:
grasp the Vial Shield Carrying Handle and simultaneously push down and rotate counter-
clockwise 1/8 of a turn. After completing the turn, lift the handle straight up. The Access
Cap will lift from the Vial Shield, providing access to the Multi-Dose Vial septum.
WARNING: Radiation exposure hazard. Radiation activity exposure is increased
once the Access Cap is removed. The user should avoid working directly over the
open Vial Shield to minimize exposure.
WARNING: Biological contamination may occur if aseptic techniques are not
followed. Follow facility guidelines to disinfect the vial septum.
4. Insert SAS Needles into the Multi-Dose Vial:
a. Grasp the Needle Insertion Device's handle and rotate it clockwise until it stops; the
SAS Needles should be oriented over the Multi-Dose Vial septum.
b. Press down on the Needle Insertion Device's handle until the Needle Insertion
Device is in its original closed position as shown in the Intego Shielded Chamber
Components diagram. The SAS Needles will penetrate the Multi-Dose Vial as the
Needle Insertion Device is lowered.
c. Lower the Needle Insertion Device handle to rest on the cover.
5. Close the Shielded Chamber Lid until the Shielded Chamber Lid Latch engages and close
the PAS Compartment Cover over the PAS Compartment.
The Vial Shield is keyed such that it can be properly inserted into the Vial Shield Compartment
only one way. The posts in the Vial Shield Compartment must rest in the keyed areas located
on one flat surface of the Vial Shield.
