How to Apply StayFIX Fixation Device?

To adhere effectively, the Stayfix Dressing must be applied to a clean, dry skin surface. Be sure to follow healthcare provider instructions for cleaning and managing the area where the catheter or tube exits your body. Application instructions are illustrated below (Reverse instructions for removal):

Using the StayFix Fixation at Home

• StayFIX Fixation Device should remain secure for up to seven days. After seven days (sooner if the device becomes loose for any reason), you need to remove the old catheter securement device and replace it with a new one.
• Inspect it daily to make sure that it is still holding the implanted device securely.
• If it becomes loose, remove it and replace it with a new StayFIX dressing.
• The dressing is water-resistant and can get wet, but avoid soaking in water for an extended amount of time.
• Avoid touching the device until it has dried completely. Again, if it becomes loose, remove it and replace it with a new StayFIX Fixation Device.

Precautions

• Do not use if the packaging is open, damaged, or broken
• Intended for single-patient use only; do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize to prevent device compromise and potential harm to patients
• Risk of contamination and patient infection if the device is reused
• Check the expiration date before use
• Store in a cool, dry place
• Replace the StayFIX Fixation Device after seven days or sooner if it becomes loose to avoid potential complications
• Exercise caution when removing the device to prevent unintentional movement or dislodging of the catheter or tube

Contraindications

• Use on patients with known tape or adhesive allergies
• Use with vascular catheters
