How to Use

1. Prepare: Wash hands thoroughly and don sterile gloves. Ensure the suction machine is ready and tubing is connected.
2. Connect: Attach the proximal end of the ANGIPLAST suction catheter to the suction connecting tube.
3. Insert Gently: Carefully insert the catheter into the patient's respiratory tract (via oral, nasal, or tracheostomy opening) without applying suction.
4. Apply Suction: Once in position, apply intermittent suction while slowly withdrawing the catheter with a rotating motion to maximize secretion removal.
5. Duration: Limit each suctioning pass to no more than 10-15 seconds to prevent hypoxia.
6. Discard: After single use, dispose of the catheter safely according to medical waste guidelines.
7. Monitor: Observe the patient for any signs of discomfort or respiratory distress throughout the procedure.

• Do not use if the sterile packaging is opened or damaged. Inspect packaging before use.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with known bleeding disorders, tracheal trauma, or fragile airways.
• Avoid prolonged suctioning, which can lead to hypoxia or mucosal damage.
