F&P Optiflow Junior 2+ Handbuch Seite 3

I
Apply Cannula
Select appropriate cannula size;
1
recommended nare occlusion is
approximately 50%.
• Prepare the patient's skin according to
hospital protocol.
• Connect the system to the gas source and
ensure there is gas flow through the prongs.
Remove the first backing tabs from the
2
F&P Wigglepads™ 2 and avoid touching
the adhesive.
Insert the cannula into the nares.
3
Ensure the cannula bridge rests close to
the nose without touching the septum.
Do not stretch the cannula during
application. Stick the Wigglepads 2 to
the patient's cheeks.
Remove the second backing tabs and
4
stick the Wigglepads 2 onto the cheeks.
WARNING
• DO NOT allow the prongs to seal in the nares.
Occlusion may result in septal damage or
barotrauma.
• DO NOT allow the prongs to seal in the nares.
Occlusion may result in septal damage or
barotrauma.
CAUTIONS
• DO NOT place the Wigglepads 2 on the
patient's eyes, ears or injured skin.
• Ensure the cannula is placed directly on the
Wigglepads 2. Direct skin contact caused
by cannula misalignment may result in skin
breakdown.
II
Remove Cannula
Place fingertip on the outside edge of the
Wigglepads 2 and gently peel the cannula away
from the Wigglepads 2. Starting from the outside,
peel towards the nose.
III
Replace F&P Wigglepads
• Lift the edge of the Wigglepads 2. Use a
damp cloth to wipe the patient's skin and the
underside of the Wigglepads 2 while gently
peeling away from the patient's face.
Adhere the replacement Wigglepads 2 to the
1
cannula, remove the first backing tabs and stick
the Wigglepads 2 onto the patient's cheeks.
Remove the second backing tabs and stick
2
onto the patient's cheeks.
Checks During Operation
• Regular monitoring of the patient is necessary
to ensure a slight gap between the cannula and
septum is maintained, as well as the correct
placement of the prongs in the nares. Reposition
the cannula on the Wigglepads 2 if required.
• Regularly check skin integrity to prevent
excessive pressure to the upper lip.
• To prevent nare occlusion, clean secretions from
the cannula and the patient's face as required.
• Check the cannula remains secure. Replace the
Wigglepads 2 if required.
• Ensure all connections are secure during use.
Check the cannula is undamaged and that the
flow path is maintained. Under excessive load,
the cannula may disconnect to prevent forces
being transferred to the patient.
