How To Use Duette Foley Catheter?

• Visually inspect Poiesis Duette Dual-Balloon Two-Way Foley Catheter for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use. If a package is opened or if any imperfection or surface deterioration is observed, do not use it.
• Gather required materials: Two 10 ml/cc syringes filled with sterile water.
• Wash hands before and after the procedure.

Duette Catheter Insertion

• Insert Two-Way Foley Catheter according to institutional guidelines.
• Insert one of the 10ml/cc syringes into the Size color-coded Non-Black inflation/deflation port. Slowly depress the syringe plunger to fill the proximal retention balloon with approximately 10ml/cc of sterile water, then remove the syringe.
• Then insert the second 10ml/cc syringe into the Size color-coded Black inflation/deflation port. Depress the syringe plunger slowly to fill the distal balloon with approximately 5ml/cc of Sterile water, then remove the syringe.

Catheter Removal

• Deflate the balloon by gently inserting into the Non-Black inflation/deflation port a Luer slip syringe, allowing water to flow into the syringe barrel. Never use more force than required to make the syringe stick in the valve. If slow or no deflation occurs, gentle aspiration may be required.
• Empty the syringe and insert it into the Black inflation/deflation port. Repeat the deflation process.
• Remove Dual Balloon Foley Catheter according to Institution guidelines.

Emptying the Drainage Bag

• Wash hands using soap and warm water
• Remove the bag drainage tube from its protective pouch
• Unclamp and drain into the toilet
• Close the clamp and replace the tube in its pouch when the bag is empty

Cautions:

• Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen and prevent balloon deflation. If there is no deflation, the valve arm may be cut off if permitted by institution protocol. If this fails, a healthcare professional should be contacted for assistance.
• Do not use needles. Maximum catheter inflation capacity with sterile water: 10 ml/cc per balloon.
• Do not aspirate urine through the drainage funnel wall. Inflate balloons using a Luer slip-adapter syringe.

Warnings

• Once used, Dual-Balloon Two-Way Foley Catheter may become a potential biohazard
• Handle and dispose of in accordance with the applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations
