To infuse the therapeutic solution, depress the Squirt as
needed. This procedure should be repeated for the dura-
tion of therapy as directed by the physician.
Figure 11
Instructions for Use with a Reservoir Bag or Bottle
Attach tubing connector to the female luer attachment
located on the underside portion of the Squirt. Make sure
the connection is air-tight so that no air can enter the
system. Holding the Squirt in an upright position prime the
Squirt System in a similar manner to the priming instruc-
tions as listed above. Turn Squirt such that the Sherlock
connector is pointing up. Repeatedly activate the trigger
bar until all air is out of fluid path. This may include tapping
the Squirt with a hemostat or similar device. The device
is now ready to inject fluid into the Fountain Infusion
Catheter. (See Figure 12) Caution: Make sure that fluid level
in reservoir bag or bottle is continuously monitored so air is
not inadvertently injected.
Figure 12
I.V. Pump Infusion Instructions
Prime the Fountain Infusion Catheter and hemostasis valve
as described in the previous instructions. Place the cath-
eter, hemostasis valve, and occluding wire as previously
described. The occluding wire and catheter should always
be placed under fluoroscopic control.
Attach the primed hemostasis valve to the I.V. line that has
been primed according to the manufacturer's instructions
for use. Make sure the connection is air-tight. Note: The
I.V. infusion pump that is used should have the "occlusion
alarm pressure limit" set at 10 psi or 517mmHg.
