How to Use

1. Prepare the Equipment:

   • Remove the cannula from its sterile packaging.

   • Attach the tubing to the oxygen source (e.g., concentrator, tank, or flowmeter).

2. Adjust the Flow Rate:

   • Set the oxygen flow rate according to the prescribed amount.

   • Confirm that the oxygen is flowing through the cannula.

3. Position the Cannula:

   • Gently insert the non-flared tips into the nostrils.

   • Loop the tubing over the ears and adjust the slider for a secure fit.

4. Monitor and Adjust:

   • Regularly check the tubing for kinks or blockages.

   • Ensure the patient is receiving the proper oxygen flow.

5. Dispose of the Cannula:

   • After single-patient use, discard the cannula according to medical waste protocols.

Precautions and Safety Tips

• Use as Directed: Follow the prescribed oxygen flow rate to avoid over- or under-oxygenation.

• Avoid Kinks: Check the tubing regularly to ensure uninterrupted oxygen flow.

• Replace as Needed: Use a new cannula if it becomes damaged or contaminated.

• Maintain Proper Hygiene: Clean the patient’s nasal area frequently to prevent irritation during extended use.

• Store Properly: Keep unused cannulas in their sealed packaging until needed.
