• A syringe is included.
• The small diameter allows passage through the cervix.

Contraindications

This device should not be used in the presence of hemorrhage, active pelvic infection, sexually transmitted disease, profuse bleeding, or pregnancy.

Warnings

• Always inflate the balloon with a sterile liquid. Never inflate with air, carbon dioxide or any other gas.

Instructions for Using Cook Silicone Balloon HSG Catheter

HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY

• If desired, connect balloon catheter to a disposable connecting tube (order number: J-DET-115000).
• Position a vaginal speculum within the vagina so the external cervical os can be visualized during catheter insertion.
• Cleanse the cervix with an appropriate cleansing solution.
• Catheter tip is inserted through cervix and into uterus.
• Fill the syringe with sterile saline solution. Eliminate air from the syringe.
• To inflate the balloon, instill sterile saline solution.
• Inject a small amount of contrast medium to check the position of the balloon.
• If desired, deflate the balloon and using fluoroscopic control, advance the catheter along the course of the residual cervical contrast into the uterine cavity. When the catheters position in the uterus is confirmed, reinflate balloon with sterile saline solution to the maximum volume.
• Pull back gently on the catheter shaft to seat the inflated balloon against the internal cervical os.
• Inject sufficient contrast medium to fluoroscopically visualize the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes.
• Deflate the balloon when the examination is complete and remove the catheter from the cervix.

SALINE INFUSION SONOHYSTEROGRAPHY

• If desired, connect balloon catheter to a disposable connecting tube (order number: J-DET-115000).
• Pre-fill catheter with saline and remove syringe prior to placement. (Syringe is reattached after catheter is positioned.)
• Position a vaginal speculum within the vagina so the external cervical os can be visualized during catheter insertion.
• Cleanse the cervix with an appropriate cleansing solution.
• Catheter tip is inserted through cervix and into uterus.
• Fill the syringe with sterile saline solution. Eliminate air from the syringe.
• To inflate the balloon, instill sterile saline solution.
• Pull back gently on the catheter shaft to seat the inflated balloon against the internal cervical os.
• Inject saline through catheter into uterus.
• Deflate the balloon when the examination is complete and remove the catheter from the cervix.
