•
Examine catheter lumen and arterial and venous extensions after
each treatment for damage.
•
To prevent accidents, assure the security of all caps and bloodline
connections prior to and between treatments.
•
Use only Luer Lock (threaded) Connectors with this catheter.
•
Make sure catheter lumen is thoroughly dry before attaching the
adapter.
•
Repeated over tightening of bloodlines, syringes, and caps will
reduce connector life and could lead to failure of the arterial venous
extension connector.
•
When cutting catheter to desired length, assure the lumen is cut
square and that the remaining catheter lumen is not damaged.
•
Attach a syringe containing heparin solution to the female luer of
extension adapter. Open extension clamps. Aspirate to insure that
no air will be forced into the patient. Inject heparin into each
catheter using quick bolus technique.
