Instructions for Use

1. Locate Insertion Point: Identify the intercostal space between the second and third ribs, approximately 8-10 cm below the clavicle (the needle, when placed against the chest, can help identify this space – one end touching the clavicle, the other at the second intercostal space).
2. Sanitize: Disinfect the insertion site and surrounding area.
3. Prepare the Needle: Open the protective case and remove the needle.
4. Insert the Needle: Position the needle tip directly above the upper border of the third rib, maintaining a 90-degree angle to the chest wall. Carefully and steadily insert the needle until the orange stopper is flush against the skin (ensure the needle is not directed towards the heart!).
5. Detach Needle: Remove the needle, leaving the catheter in place.
6. Secure Catheter: Secure the catheter to prevent dislodgement.
