4. Operating Instructions

Follow these general steps for using the McKesson Sterile Irrigation Tray Piston Syringe. Always adhere to specific medical protocols and healthcare provider instructions.

1. Draw Solution: Insert the tip of the piston syringe into the irrigation solution. Pull back the plunger slowly to draw the desired amount of solution into the syringe barrel.
2. Expel Air: Hold the syringe with the tip pointing upwards and gently push the plunger to expel any air bubbles until a small drop of solution appears at the tip.
3. Administer/Irrigate: Position the syringe tip appropriately for the intended procedure (e.g., near a wound, into a feeding tube). Slowly and steadily depress the plunger to administer the solution.
4. Repeat as Needed: Repeat the process of drawing and administering solution until the procedure is complete.
5. Disposal: Immediately after use, dispose of the entire tray and its contents in accordance with facility policies for biohazardous waste. This product is for single use only.

5. Maintenance and Care

The McKesson Sterile Irrigation Tray Piston Syringe is designed for single-use and is supplied sterile. Therefore, no maintenance or cleaning is required or recommended after initial use.

• Single Use Only: Do not attempt to clean, sterilize, or reuse any components of this tray. Reuse can lead to contamination and potential patient harm.
• Storage: Store unopened trays in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Disposal: Dispose of all used components immediately after the procedure in an appropriate biohazard waste container, following local regulations and facility protocols.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the use of the irrigation tray, consider the following:

• Syringe Plunger Sticking: Ensure the plunger is properly seated. If it continues to stick or is difficult to move, the syringe may be defective. Discard and use a new sterile syringe.
• Leaking Syringe: Check for cracks in the syringe barrel or a loose connection at the tip. If leaking occurs, discard the syringe and use a new sterile one.
• Contamination Concern: If sterility is compromised (e.g., package torn, contents touched non-sterile surface), discard the entire tray and use a new sterile one.
• No Solution Drawn: Ensure the syringe tip is fully submerged in the solution and the plunger is pulled back completely.
