Reference Guide Cartridge Changeout Prior to changing the Hemolung Cartridge, prepare the following supplies: • Disinfectant Solution • Hemolung Cartridge Kit • Sterile Scissors • Hemolung Rinseback Kit • 500 mL bag of saline • 30 mL syringes • Barb to Barb Connectors
i
If blood rinse back is desired prior to changing the Cartridge, follow the procedures for returning the patient’s blood in the Rinse Back reference guide. Blood should only be returned to the body if there are no signs of clotting or thrombosis.
Change Cartridge following these steps: 1 Prime Hemolung Cartridge - Assemble, prime, and recirculate a new Hemolung Cartridge (with new blood tubing). See Setup and Priming reference guide for instructions.
i
If a second Hemolung Controller is not available for priming the new circuit, Step 1 will be delayed until after the existing blood circuit has been disconnected from the Catheter (Step 7). In this case, Catheter patency must be preserved while priming the new circuit. Barb to Luer connectors can be used to connect a continuous infusion lines to the catheter lumens to prevent clotting. If the Catheter needs to be locked, use the provided caps.
2 Prepare Syringes - Fill the 30 mL syringes with normal saline. They will be used to provide irrigation during tubing connections. 3 Disinfect Blood Tubes - Clean and disinfect a 30 cm (12 in) length of each blood tube, starting at the catheter barb connector and moving toward the Hemolung Cartridge. Use one of the following approved solutions: • Aqueous based povidone iodine (Betadine®) • Chlorhexidine Gluconate (Hibiclens®) • Aqueous chlorhexidine topical solutions (ChloraPrep®)
4 Reduce Pump Speed - Reduce the Hemolung Cartridge pump speed to approximately 500 RPM. 5 Stop Pump - Press and hold the Pump Start/Stop Key to stop the Hemolung Cartridge pump. Because stopping the blood flow increases the risk of clotting, the remaining steps should be completed as quickly as possible. HL-PL-0226_RB

• Always follow your standard clinical procedure for placment of large-bore central venous catheters. • Reference Seldinger Technique
Hemolung RAS Instructions i Reference for Use section 3 Anticoagulation. 7 Puncture Vessel • With a sterile scalpel blade, nick the skin over the target vessel. • Attach a 10 mL syringe to the introducer needle and insert the needle into the target vessel using appropriate imaging technology. Aspirate to ensure proper placement. • Remove syringe and place thumb over the end of the introducer needle to prevent blood loss or air embolism. • Once blood has been aspirated, slide the flexible “J” tip end of the guidewire back into the advancer so that only the tip of the guidewire is visible. • Insert the advancer’s distal end into the needle hub. • Advance the guidewire with a forward motion into and past the needle hub so that it reaches the target vessel. Insertion length depends on the patient’s size. Do not allow the guidewire to enter the right atrium. • Securely holding the guidewire, remove the needle.
8 Anticoagulate Patient • After guidewire is placed, anticoagulate the patient per doctor’s orders. 80 U/kg heparin bolus is suggested. Allow to circulate then insert Catheter. HL-PL-0226_RB

9 Dilate vessel using serial dilators
i
• Slide vessel dilator onto the guidewire then advance it through the skin and into the vessel. Use a shallow angle approach to reduce the potential risk of guidewire kinks or a vessel puncture. • Next, remove dilator, leaving the guidewire in place.
!
Use a shallow insertion angle to avoid guidewire kinking
CAUTION: Inserting the dilator at a different angle than the guidewire could result in guidewire kinking in the subcutaneous tissue.
10 Insert Catheter • Feed distal section of the stylet over the guidewire. Proper Catheter location will be indicated by free blood flow. Verify advancement, positioning, and placement of the Catheter using appropriate imaging guidance. • For JUGULAR insertion, advance Catheter tip to the junction of the superior vena cava and right atrium. • For FEMORAL insertion, advance Catheter tip into the inferior vena cava. • After Catheter placement verification, withdraw guidewire from stylet. Remove stylet from the Catheter by unscrewing it from the priming adaptor and withdrawing.
11 Check Catheter Patency and Remove Any Air • Attach 10 mL syringe filled with 3 mL sterile saline to priming adaptor of each Catheter lumen. • Release clamp and aspirate blood through each lumen. Blood should aspirate easily through both lumens. If either lumen exhibits excessive resistance to blood aspiration, rotate or reposition Catheter to obtain adequate blood flow.
12 Irrigate Both Lumens Using a Quick Bolus Technique • Open clamps to irrigate lumens with saline-filled 20 mL syringes. Then clamp both lumens after flushing. • Remove priming adapters before immediately connecting the blood tubing. Then unclamp lumens and blood tubing to start extracorporeal blood flow.
delay occurs in establishing extracorporeal blood flow, the Catheter lumens should be flushed i Ifcontinuously with a saline infusion to prevent clotting. It is not recommended to heparin lock the lumens. Femoral Catheter Securement • Secure Catheter hub to the skin using a strong suture that sits in the groove of the Catheter hub and is securely tightened. • Place lumens in the Grip-Lok device and secure it to the skin per the Grip-Lok IFU.
