SafeSet™

Blood Sampling System

1. Priming> Check all connections fortightness on the Transpac IV
SafeSet monitoring kit.

> Remove white vented cap fromzeroing stopcock and turnstopcock handle “off” to patient.

> If you are using an “add-on”
SafeSet extension set, remove
white vented cap from female luer
and attach female luer tomonitoring kit.

> Prime the transducer system and
SafeSet under gravity.

> Attach transducer toreusable mount.

> Activate fast flush mechanism of
the continuous flush device andfill transducer slowly until air-free.
Flush fluid through transducer
and side port of zeroing stopcock.

> Release locking mechanism on
SafeSet in-line reservoir bydepressing ridged area of plunger
clip. Pull in-line reservoir plunger
back to approximately 2 cc.
> Hold SafeSet in-line reservoir
in upright position with tip
pointed up.

> Activate flush device. Check foradequate removal of any air
bubbles at tip of SafeSet reservoir,
allowing fluid to go past 1-way
stopcock distal to SafeSetreservoir. “Close” SafeSet reservoir
until it is in the locked position.
> Pressurize solution bag to
300 mmHg.
> Continue to flush until all air iscleared from system to reducerisk of air emboli.

> Turn handle of zero reference
stopcock “off” to side port. Placea yellow non-vented cap fromspare parts bag onto side port.

> For systemic arterial pressure line,
activate flush mechanism inmonitoring kit while allowing
arterial cannula to back flow duringattachment. For pulmonary artery
catheters, monitoring systemshould be attached to catheter
and catheter filled with IV solution
prior to insertion. Follow catheter
manufacturer’s instructions.

> Secure a non-vented coverprovided in spare parts bag to
distal end of set.

> Remove white vented cover frommale luer at patient connection.

2. Obtaining A Blood Sample> Release locking mechanism of
SafeSet in-line reservoir bydepressing on ridged area ofplunger clip.
> Pull back on plunger slightly to fill.
Fill reservoir no faster than 1 cc
per second to avoid occlusionof catheter.

> Prior to removing needlelessaccess device, turn one-way
stopcock between sampling port
and patient “OFF,” if accessible.
> Remove blood sampling device
from sampling port as a single unit.
> If using a syringe, aspirate slightly
while removing the bloodcollection device from sampling
port as a single unit.

|C24-6926> Once an appropriate discard
volume has been obtained inSafeSet in-line reservoir, turn “off”
one-way stopcock integral toreservoir. This is done by turning
handle perpendicular to tubing.

> Per hospital policy, use
disinfectant to cleanse SafeSetsampling port from which sample
will be drawn.

> Attach SafeSet blunt cannula orshielded blunt cannula to bloodcollection device (e.g., syringe,blood tube holder).

> Turn one-way stopcock distal tosampling port back to “ON”
position (handle of stopcock
parallel to patient line).

> Turn one-way stopcock integral toin-line reservoir back to “ON”
position (handle of stopcock
parallel to patient line).

> Once the SafeSet in-line reservoir
is in locked position, activate
flush device until line is clear of
all blood.

> Return fluid contained in SafeSet
in-line reservoir back to patient byslowly pressing down on plunger.

> Using disinfectant, per hospital
policy, cleanse SafeSet port
following sample removal.

> Insert shielded blunt cannula into
cleansed SafeSet sampling port.
Obtain necessary amount ofblood for a sample into bloodcollection device.
> Insert blood vacutainer if using a
blood tube holder.

> Return reservoir volume to patient
at a rate of 1 cc per second, until
plunger reaches its locked position.
