8. Take apart female adapter by twisting parts (A) and (C) apart.
The compression ring (B) should be found in part (A).
Warning: Do NOT attempt to separate the extension from the
adapter. These parts are bonded together.
9. Slide adapter part (A) over catheter lumen (D). Slide
compression ring (B) over catheter lumen (D). Insert metal
cannula of adapter part (C) into the catheter lumen (D) with a
twisting motion, making sure the tubing is FULLY seated (until
no metal is visible).
10. Slide compression ring (B) toward end of catheter lumen/
adapter assembly (C) until seated as shown.
Caution: Compression ring MUST be fully seated.
11. Slide adapter part (A) toward end of catheter lumen/adapter
assembly (C) and twist adapter together firmly. A gentle tug will
assure proper assembly.
Caution: Assembly threads MUST be fully engaged.
12. Attach syringes on both extension sets, and open clamps.
Remove temporary slide clamps. Blood should aspirate easily
from both lumens.
HEPARINIZATION:
• If the catheter is not to be used immediately for treatment,
follow the suggested catheter patency guidelines.
• To maintain patency between treatments, a heparin lock must
be created in the lumen(s) of the catheter.
• Follow hospital protocol for heparin concentration.
1. Draw heparin into syringes, corresponding to the priming
volume amount indicated on catheter lumen. Assure that the
syringe is free of air.
Note: Priming volume values printed on lumen include extension
set.
2. Remove end caps from the extension set.
3. Attach syringes containing heparin solution on female luers of
the extension set.
4. Open extension clamps and white secondary clamps.
5. Aspirate to insure that no air will be forced into the patient.
