Instructions for use:
- Select the desired size of the IV cannula. Try to use the smallest size cannula to administer the necessary intravenous fluids.
- Disinfect the puncture site of the blood vessel.
- Make sure that the blister pack of the cannula is intact, and that the product has not expired.
- Remove the protective cap of the needle and insert the needle at an acute angle into the peripheral vein.
- Verify that blood is flowing into the backflow chamber. This confirms the correctness of the puncture.
- Insert the catheter into the vein and at the same time carefully remove the needle.
- Do not attempt to re-insert a partially or fully withdrawn needle.
- Do not press your finger on the vein at or above the catheter insertion site. This may result in blood splatter.
- Connect the cannula to the system for the introduction of infusion solutions, a syringe or close the Luer lock plug.
- Dispose of the needle in an appropriate container.
- Secure the cannula with a patch.
- In an intravenous cannula with a port, drugs can be injected directly through the port using a syringe.
- If the port is not in use, it must be covered with a cap.
- Regularly check the vein site for any reactions.
- At the end of the manipulation, dispose of the cannula in accordance with established standards.
