DESCRIPTION
The ON-Q* QUIKBLOC* Over-the-Needle Catheter Set consists of a catheter assembled over an
echogenic needle.
• Needle: 20 GA ECHOBRIGHT* Echogenic
• (Stimulating and non-Stimulating)
• Catheter: 16 GA open tip with lateral ports and 10 mm depth marks
WARNINGS
• Avoid placing the catheter in joint spaces. Although there is no denitive
established causal relationship, some literature has shown a possible
association between continuous intra-articular infusions (particularly with
bupivacaine)and the subsequent development of chondrolysis.
• Do not reinsert the needle through the catheter, after the catheter is placed.
This may damage the catheter and result in the catheter breaking o inside the
patient.
• Ensure that needle or catheter is not placed in a vein or artery. Inadvertent
intravascular delivery may result in systemic toxic eects. Refer to the drug
manufacturer’s package insert.
• If blood is observed during placement of the needle or catheter, it may have
been placed incorrectly. Stop immediately and follow currently accepted
medical practices.
• Do not bend the QUIKBLOC* Set to excess as this may cause product damage.
• Consider location of needle and catheter insertion to avoid injury to nerves,
blood vessels, organs and other anatomical structures.
• Catheter should not be cut as this may lead to failure of catheter function, and/
or retention of catheter components on removal.
CAUTIONS
• Product is ethylene oxide sterilized.
Do not use if package has been opened or is damaged.
