Carefully select and aseptically prepare the site.
Remove the needle cover and make sure the needle and the catheter tip are properly aligned.
Perform veinpuncture.
Observe instant blood response (flashback) along the catheter length, not in the chamber behind the wing housing.
Lower the insertion angle, advance about 1 mm along the vein to ensure the catheter tip is in the vein and simultaneously start to withdraw the needle.
Advance further, hold the catheter hub for stabilization and compress the vein above the tip of the catheter. Withdraw the needle completely. Always pull the needle straight back and confirm safety clip activation.
Discard the needle in an approved sharps container.
Connect a Luer connector, cap or IV infusion line.
Remove the wing holder and foldout the wings for stable fixation.
Secure the IV catheter to ensure a clear fluid path and flush the catheter according to local protocol.
Cover the insertion site with a sterile dressing.
