Peritoneal Dialysis
Merit Medical Systems, Inc. · Model 00884450277478
A thin wire/rod intended to be inserted within the lumen of a peritoneal catheter (e.g., peritoneal dialysis catheter, peritoneal drainage catheter, peritoneal lavage catheter, abdominal fluid shunt system peritoneal catheter) to stiffen/maintain the shape of the catheter to assist introduction; it may also be intended to assist insertion of a bladder catheter used for drainage of fluid from the peritoneal cavity to the bladder. It is intended to be removed once the catheter is in place. This is a single-use device.
Key tips
- ·Conductivity and water-quality checks are non-negotiable before every shift - dialysate chemistry errors are a direct patient-harm mechanism.
- ·Confirm disinfection cycle completion, never assume it, after every use.
- ·Treat a blood-leak detector fault as real until proven otherwise - never silence and continue.
