How to Use Winged AutoGuard Catheter?

Preparation Make sure all items are accessible throughout the procedure Prepare site according to your facility’s policy and procedure Prior to venipuncture, hold catheter hub and rotate barrel 360 degrees Make sure catheter is seated back in the notch
Venipuncture Approach vein slowly at a low angle Observe flashback along the catheter (20, 22 and 24 gauge only); in larger gauge sizes, observe flash behind the white button
Advancement Upon flashback visualization, lower catheter almost parallel to the skin Before threading, advance entire unit slightly to ensure catheter tip is in the vein Advance catheter into the vein up to the hub, while maintaining skin traction
Needle Removal Before pressing the button Release venous pressure Apply digital pressure beyond the catheter tip Gently stabilize catheter hub Press the white button
Securement Secure catheter and apply sterile dressing according to your facility policy and procedure

Tips For Success:

Insertion Success

• Make sure the tip seal is released before insertion by rotating the barrel 360 degrees
• Make sure catheter is seated back in the notch
• Slow down the speed of insertion
• Use less force to penetrate the skin
• Lower the initial insertion angle, keeping the elbow low
• After flash, lower the angle and advance slightly

Seeing The Flash

• Trust your instinct and take a pause
• Look for the flash along the catheter
• Be aware of patient factors such as small veins, condition of vein, dehydration, hypovolemia, hypotension, polycythemia, etc. that may impact flash

Threading With Ease

• After flash, lower the angle and advance slightly before threading catheter off the needle
• Avoid the push-pull technique when advancing
• Maintain traction on the skin

Retracting The Needle

• Make sure tip seal is released before insertion by rotating the barrel 360 degrees
• Make sure to place digital pressure beyond the tip of the catheter
• Make sure needle is not being inadvertently bent while attempting to activate the button

Minimizing The Blood

• Release tourniquet (if used) before pressing the button
• Place digital pressure beyond the catheter tip
• Have IV connector or tubing close by and ready

Avoid Early Activation

• Be aware of where your fingers are
• Remove needle cover in a straight, outward motion
