Inflation/Deflation and Sampling Guidelines

• Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use
• Inflate the balloon with sterile water to the volume stated on the inflation lumen of the catheter by using a water-filled Luer tip syringe
• Do not use needle
• Do not exceed recommended capacities
• To deflate the catheter balloon:
  • Gently insert a Luer slip tip syringe in the catheter valve
  • Never use more force than is required to make the syringe “stick” in the valve
  • Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water
  • If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently
  • Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed
  • Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation
  • If necessary, contact adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol

Cautions:

• Do not use if the package is damaged
• Consult Instructions for Use
• Keep away from sunlight
• Sterilized by Ethylene Oxide
• Contains or presence of natural rubber latex that may cause allergic reactions.
