Citric Acid Uro-Tainer Twin Suby G Urinary Catheter Irrigation Solution

Sold as Each (Twin Pack)

Citric Acid Uro-Tainier is a two-chamber bag irrigation solution for urinary catheter maintenance. It incorporates a clinically proven, double instillation concept in a single device with unique 2 x 30ml twin chamber.

Uro-Tainer® Twin Suby G (3.23% Citric Acid) solution is used to reduce/ dissolve encrustation in the catheter or bladder.

Features:

• Mechanical rinsing of urinary catheters (i.e. removal of debris)
• Easy to use and quick to administer
• Dissolution of encrustation
• Ready to use disposable system
• PVC sachet in a protective plastic overwrapping
• Containing 2 chambers of 30 ml of sterile solution
• 2 flexible tubes fitted with clamps, and a sterile universal connector protected by a plastic cap with a tamperproof seal

Suggested Use:

• Uro-Tainer Twin sachet is supplied sterile and should not be removed from its overwrap until ready to use
• The solution should be at body temperature, approximately 37 degrees
• If the solution requires warming prior to use immerse the wrapped sachet into luke-warm water
• Peel open the plastic overwrap and remove the Uro-Tainer Twin
• Close both tubes with the green and white clamps
• Remove the tear away closure ring
• Twist and withdraw cap without touching sterile connector
• Release the white clamp into the open position and allow a few drops of the solution to flow into the catheter to remove any air locks
• Insert connector into the catheter
• Holding Uro-Tainer Twin above the level of the bladder, allow the solution from the 1st chamber to flow into the bladder
• To avoid any potential trauma to the bladder do not use force or agitation
• Close open tube with white clamp
• After 5 minutes release white clamp and hold bag below the level of the bladder, and drain the solution
• Close tube with white clamp
• Now repeat the process using the 2nd chamber of solution
• Hold Uro-Tainer Twin above the level of the bladder and release the green clamp
• Allow the solution to flow into the bladder
• Again, do not use force or agitation
• Close open tube with green clamp
• After 5 minutes release green clamp and hold bag below the level of the bladder, and drain the solution
• Close tube with green clamp
• Ensure both clamps are now closed
• Remove the connector from the catheter by turning gently
• Now connect the catheter to a sterile drainage bag
• Discard after treatment

Secondary Effects:

• Citric acid may cause some patients to experience slight irritation and even temporary pain, a burning sensation, or spasms of the bladder (desire to urinate)
• In these cases the application should be carried out less frequently, or alternated with an application of NaCl 0.9%.
• In general, however, this treatment is well tolerated and these secondary effects do not require it to be interrupted
• If the liquid exits from the urethra during the irrigation, the catheter may no longer be in the bladder and the patient may require a new catheter
• If the liquid does not flow, the catheter may be kinked in the bladder or it may be blocked and may require changing
