TOURNIQUET
Intended for
Ease of use to achieve patient hemostasis, with simplified operation and clear indications.
Features
| Medical grade silicone safe for blood contact. |
| | Clear dial provides easy monitoring of puncture site. |
| Pressure indication, convenient to adjust compression pressure for nursing staff. |
| Curved surface silicone available, less pressure achieving vascular hemostasis, more comfortable for patient. |
| Comfortable band, available in three size: 18cm, 22cm, 26cm. |
Instruction for Use
- Open the package and remove the compression device.
|
|
- Loosen the Velcro tab and pass the compression device over the hand.
| |
- Align the centre of pressure plate with a gauze pad over the sheath access point, pull the fixing strap tight and secure using the Velcro tab.
| |
- Slowly remove the sheath while turning the rotator clockwise. Continue tightening the rotator until hemostasis is achieved.
| Note: Do not fasten the rotator too tightly.
Note: Recommended pressing force is 15N (newton, absolute unit of force, abbreviated “N”）, and
varies from patient to patient,overall pressing force shall not exceed 20N (newton). Adjust while observing the red O ring, which indicates the clear pressure force (N). Pressure force is determined by the top of red O ring. |
- Take care not to overtighten the device. It is advisable to retain some pulse.
|
|
- The compression device can be loosened every 10-15 minutes, by turning the rotator counterclockwise 3-5N(newton) each time while ensuring hemostasis is maintained. If bleeding occurs during loosening of the pressure plate, tighten the pressure plate to restore hemostasis; reassess radial artery patency by performing the reverse Barbeau test. Wait 15-30 minutes before resuming loose.
|
|
- Once all pressure has been released ensure all bleeding has stopped before removing the device.
|
|
- Once full hemostatis is achieved, withdraw the pressure plate back to the strap plate using the rotator. Undo the Velcro and remove the compression device completely.
|
|
- Discard the compression device in accordance with medical waste protocols after use.
