onto the cheeks.

PLACEMENT CHECKS
Sensitive Septum
1
Check that the nasal cannula does not apply any pressure to the
infant’s septum. Ensure a slight gap is visible between the cannula
and the septum. Adjust cannula position if required.
Cheeky Check
2
• Gently squish the infant’s cheeks to check the prong placement
in the nares.
• If prongs come out of the nares, adjust cannula further into the
nares according to instructions. Repeat the cheeky check.
Tidy Tubing
3
Ensure that the baby is not lying on the tubing and that the flow
path is maintained.
CANNULA REMOVAL/ADJUSTMENT
Always readjust cannula while patient is supine.
To temporarily remove or adjust the cannula on the Wigglepads:
• Place fingertip on the outside edge of Wigglepad.
• Gently peel the cannula pad away from the Wigglepad starting from
the outside and working in towards the infant’s nose.
• To adjust, reposition prongs into nares and place cannula back
onto Wigglepads.

WIGGLEPAD REMOVAL/ REPLACEMENT
Lift edge of the Wigglepad and using a wet cloth wipe the skin and
underside of the Wigglepad while gently peeling Wigglepad from face.
Refer to sizing chart for Wigglepad spares.
