6. For stimulating cannulas and catheters: Do not use devices that emit electro-
magnetic radiation near the patient. This avoids any electromagnetic interac-
tion.
Further warning indications
You must routinely take general precautions for handling blood and bodily
fluids when using and disposing of the device, due to the risk of contact with
blood-borne pathogens.
Sequence of use
Placement of the cannula (single shot)
1. Perform skin disinfection and cover puncture area with a sterile fenestrated
surgical drape (aperture drape), local anesthesia.
2. Perforating incision (optional: lancet, etc.)
3. Advancement of the cannula under the skin.
4. Determination of the position of the cannula.
5. Anaesthetic may be administered as soon as the exact localization and the
fixation of the cannula has been completed.
Catheter placement (continuous anesthesia)
1. Place the catheter container on the cannula hub.
Make sure when you perform the puncture that the opening of the
cannula is pointing in the direction in which the catheter will later be
inserted.
2. Push the catheter with the marked end into the target area until it has
reached the required depth.
3. Stimulation catheter: Connect to stimulator, safe and sure identifi cation of
the desired position.
4. Once it is in place, remove the cannula via the catheter. Hold the catheter
tight with your other hand if necessary.
5. Once the cannula has been removed, use the clamping adapter to connect
the catheter.
6. Fill the filter with the anaesthetic to be used for anesthesia in order to com-
pensate for the dead space volume.
7. Connect the catheter adapter to the filter hub.
8. Fill a syringe of suitable size with the selected anaesthetic or analgesic and
connect it to the filter hub. The catheter system is now ready for injection.
9. Connect the catheter with the appropriate fixing aids (either FixoLong or
FixoCath) close to the outlet site.
