Codman ACCU-FLO Bedienungsanleitung Seite 6

If not properly located in the lateral ventricle,
the proximal catheter may become imbedded
in the ventricular wall or choroid plexus.
WARNINGS
Fibrous adhesions may bind the catheter
to the adjacent choroid plexus or the
ventricular wall. Gentle rotation may free the
catheter. DO NOT REMOVE THE CATHETER
FORCEFULLY. If the catheter cannot be
removed without force, it is recommended
to allow it to remain in place, rather than risk
intraventricular hemorrhage.
PRECAUTIONS
Inspect the sterile package carefully.
Do not use if:
• the package or seal appears damaged,
• contents appear damaged, or
• the expiry date has passed.
Aseptic technique is necessary in all phases
of the use of this product.
Silicone has a low cut and tear resistance;
therefore, care should be exercised when
placing ligatures so as not to tie them too
tightly. The use of stainless steel ligatures
on silicone rubber is not recommended.
Exercise extreme care to prevent the
ACCU-FLO Ventricular Catheter from
coming in contact with bare fingers, towels,
drapes, talc, or any linty or granular surfaces.
Silicone rubber is highly electrostatic and,
as a result, attracts airborne particles and
surface contaminants that could produce
tissue reaction.
Sterility
This product is for SINGLE USE ONLY;
DO NOT RESTERILIZE. Use aseptic technique
in all phases of handling. Integra LifeSciences
will not be responsible for any product that

exchange any product that has been opened
