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

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.
