SUCTION CATHETER FG 12 AS 01

Angiplast Suction Catheter FG 12-AS-01: Essential for Safe Airway Management

Key Benefits:

• Effective Airway Clearance: Engineered for the efficient and thorough aspiration of tracheal and bronchial secretions, improving patient respiration.
• Patient Safety: Features an atraumatic, rounded tip and two smooth lateral eyes to minimize mucosal irritation and trauma during insertion and withdrawal.
• Easy Identification: Equipped with a color-coded universal connector that allows for quick and accurate identification of the FG 12 size.
• Sterile & Single-Use: Individually packaged and sterilized with Ethylene Oxide (EO) to guarantee maximum hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
• High-Quality Material: Made from flexible, medical-grade PVC, ensuring optimal performance, patient comfort, and durability.

How to Use:

1. 1. Prepare Equipment: Ensure the suction unit is functional and the appropriate vacuum pressure is set. Carefully open the sterile package of the Angiplast Suction Catheter FG 12 without compromising its sterility.
2. 2. Aseptic Technique: Always maintain strict aseptic technique throughout the procedure to prevent the introduction of pathogens and minimize the risk of infection.
3. 3. Connect to Suction: Connect the proximal end of the catheter, which features the color-coded connector, to the suction tubing securely.
4. 4. Insert Catheter: Gently insert the catheter into the trachea or bronchial tube to the desired depth. Ensure suction is NOT applied during insertion to prevent tissue damage.
5. 5. Apply Suction: Once the catheter is positioned, apply intermittent suction while slowly withdrawing and rotating the catheter. Limit suction time to prevent hypoxia and mucosal injury.
6. 6. Dispose: After completing the suction procedure, disconnect the catheter from the tubing and dispose of it safely in a designated biohazard waste container, following institutional protocols.

Cautions & Warnings:

• Single-Use Only: This device is intended for single use only. Do not attempt to re-sterilize or reuse the catheter, as this can severely compromise its sterility, integrity, and patient safety.
• Sterility: Do not use the catheter if its sterile packaging is damaged, opened, or if the expiration date has passed.
• Professional Use: The Angiplast Suction Catheter should only be used by trained medical professionals who are familiar with respiratory care procedures and proper suction techniques.
• Proper Disposal: Always dispose of used catheters in accordance with hospital protocols for medical waste and biohazardous materials.
• Storage: Store the product in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its integrity and sterility.
