New Perifix® Catheter Connector

How to Use

Step 1

Check that the connector hinged cap is in the open position.

Step 2

Insert proximal end of catheter into opening of connector.

NOTE:Inserting the catheter when hinged cap is not in the open position may cause the catheter to not seat properly.

Step 2

Note that there are small “teeth” on the underside of the connector “lid.” If the lid of the connector is lying on top of the tubing, these teeth will prevent you from backing the catheter in all the way.

Step 3

Ensure that the catheter is fully inserted and seated to the hinged area of the connector. (see dotted line)

NOTE: Catheter may occlude or leak if not seated past the “teeth” and underneath the hub.If this should happen, please verify the catheter is seated all the way to the end of the connector.
