Warnings

• Fully tighten all connectors, Y-site end caps, or needleless connectors before use. Failure to attach an end cap after removing a male Luer locking end cap can result in an air embolism or bleeding.
• This is a single-use product. DO NOT REUSE. DO NOT RESTERILIZE.
• Failure to use this device correctly when removing needle from port site could result in the needle tip re-emerging from the base, resulting in an accidental needlestick with a contaminated needle. A needlestick with a contaminated needle may cause infectious disease.
• Verify needle length is correct based on port reservoir depth, tissue thickness, and the thickness of any dressing beneath the bend of the needle; if too long, needle and/or port may be damaged at insertion; if too short, needle may not completely pierce port septum, and medication may be delivered into surrounding tissue and/or needle may be blocked.
• Handle and discard in accordance with accepted medical practice and all applicable regulations. After use, this product is a potential biohazard.
• Do not alter this device.
• Needless Y-injection site valve may leak slightly at certain pressures resulting in a small bead of fluid on the valve.
• The textured handle and base are not connected. The base will move along the length of the needle.

Cautions

• Confirm correct needle placement in the port reservoir by aspiration of blood before infusion of any substance. If there is doubt regarding proper needle placement, preform a radiographic dye procedure to confirm placement per institutional protocol.
• Do not remove and reinsert the needle into the port.
• Avoid excessive manipulation once the needle is in the port.
