3

Transfer the liquid into the powder syringe by forcefully depressing the free plunger on the syringe housing. Mix contents back and forth, at least 20 times, until all powder is dissolved. End with entire contents in the syringe housing.

4

Disengage the powder syringe and transfer port together by depressing levers on the side of syringe housing.

Attach applicator tip. DO NOT PRIME the applicator tip. •P  ass applicator to surgeon for focal application -OR- Continue to Step 7 if surgeon is using EASYSPRAY.

• If surgeon is using EASYSPRAY: Remove the standard plunger clip on the COSEAL unit and obtain the COSEAL clip provided in the EASYSPRAY sprayset packaging.

• Use COSEAL within 2 hours of preparation.

Obtain spray head from sprayset packaging. Firmly attach the spray head to the hubs of the syringes, ensuring the clips lock on both sides.

• Pass the assembled COSEAL unit to the surgeon for spray application.

Fit the spray tubing of the sprayset onto the Luer-lock connection on the underside of the sprayhead.

• Pass the end of the spray tube with the sterile filters to the circulating nurse.

3

Connect the black tube, located at the side of the EASYSPRAY device, to a propellant gas source. Use compressed medical air or O2 nitrogen only.

Set wall unit pressure between 3.5 and 7 bar (51-100 psi).

• Accept the sprayset filters passed from the scrub nurse. Connect sprayset filters to EASYSPRAY device. Connect the clear filter to the male luer connector and the blue filter to the blue female luer connector.

Do not connect to an oxygen source.

Instructions for Surgeon • To activate the flow of gas, occlude the opening in the clip center with thumb. To begin application, gently depress the COSEAL plungers. Apply only to dry fields in a thin layer.2

Turn the on/off switch on the front side of the EASYSPRAY to the ON position. The low-battery indicator light will only illuminate when the battery is weak and the gas flow is activated at the same time.

Check the gauge on the EASYSPRAY device for the appropriate pressure range of 1.0-2.0 bars.

• The EASYSPRAY device will continue to emit gas for a brief period after the thumb is removed from the clip/plunger. This delay helps to avoid clogging of the spray head.2

Adjust pressure setting by turning the black pressure control knob.4

• Allow at least 60 seconds after application, and before touching or laying any object on top of the Coseal.1 • Spray from a distance of 10-15 cm for optimum results. For a distance of less than 10 cm, the pressure must be adjusted accordingly. Avoid spraying from a distance of less than 5 cm.2 See table below for adjustment settings.
