Vascular applications only

1. Using sterile procedures, assemble the needle, extension tubing, filter, and syringe
containing the prescribed fluid.
2. Purge the air from the fluid pathway.
3. Close the clamp and gently insert the needle into the catheter access port septum until
the needle touches the needle stop.
4. Open the clamp and inject directly at an infusion rate not greater than 5 mL per minute
(Figure 12).

Warning: During vascular applications, do not aspirate blood through the catheter
access port or catheter. Blood sampling or aspiration through the catheter access
port is contraindicated in vascular applications. Residual blood from aspiration or
blood sampling can occlude the catheter or pump and inhibit drug delivery,
resulting in a loss of or change in therapy, which may lead to a return of underlying
symptoms, drug withdrawal symptoms, or a clinically significant or fatal drug
underdose, and require surgical revision or replacement.
