Precautions of Teleflex AK-14553 Three-Lumen Central Venous Catheter

• Do not alter the catheter, guidewire or any other kit/set component during insertion, use or removal.
• Procedure must be performed by trained personnel well versed in anatomical landmarks, safe technique and potential complications.
• Use standard precautions and follow institutional policies for all procedures including safe disposal of devices.
• Some disinfectants used at catheter insertion site contain solvents which can weaken the catheter material. Alcohol, acetone, and polyethylene glycol can weaken the structure of polyurethane materials. These agents may also weaken the adhesive bond between catheter stabilization device and skin.
• Ensure catheter patency prior to use. Do not use syringes smaller than 10 mL (a fluid filled 1 mL syringe can exceed 300 psi) to reduce risk of intraluminal leakage or catheter rupture.
• Minimize catheter manipulation throughout procedure to maintain proper catheter tip position.
