Unauthorised re-use or reprocessing
– can cause the device to lose the essential performance properties
intended by the manufacturer.
– leads to a significant risk of cross-infection/ contamination as a result of
potentially inadequate processing methods.
– may cause the device to lose functional properties.
– may cause materials to break down and lead to endotoxic reactions
caused by the residues.
for puncture:
1. Take care to use devices of suitable dimensions (diameter, length), especially
when treating obese patients and children.
2. For cannulas with stylets: Only perform the puncture (even when remov-
ing the cannula) with the stylet in place.
3. To avoid bending or breaking of the cannula, never apply excessive force
to the cannula.
4. If you unexpectedly come into contact with bone, change the direction of
the cannula. Do not try to overcome bone resistance. Failure to adhere to
these rules could cause the cannula to bend or break.
5. Repeated bone contact will damage the cannula tip. On no account you
should continue to use a cannula damaged in this manner. In case of a
previous bone contact remove the cannula in one step.
