Teleflex RA-04020 Radial Artery Catheterization Set Precautions

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use acetone or acetone-alcohol on or near the catheter surface.
• Do not use alcohol to soak catheter surface or allow alcohol to dwell in a catheter lumen to restore catheter patency or as an infection prevention measure.
• Do not use polyethylene glycol containing ointments at insertion site.
• Allow insertion site to dry completely prior to applying dressing.
• Indwelling catheter should be routinely inspected for desired patency, security of dressing, and possible migration.
• Use standard precautions and follow established institutional policies and procedures.
