3. Open Packaging: Carefully open the sterile packaging, taking care not to contaminate the catheter.
4. Connect to Suction: Firmly connect the proximal end of the catheter to the suction tubing from the machine.
5. Insertion: Gently insert the catheter into the patient's airway (e.g., via nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, or tracheostomy route) without applying suction.
6. Apply Suction: Once in position, apply intermittent suction while slowly withdrawing and gently rotating the catheter for no more than 10-15 seconds at a time.
7. Clear Catheter: Flush the catheter with sterile saline solution if necessary, to clear any blockages.
8. Disposal: After single use, disconnect the catheter and dispose of it along with other contaminated materials in accordance with medical waste protocols.

Caution & Warnings

• Single Use Only: This product is intended for single use on a single patient. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. Reuse may lead to infection or device malfunction.
