[Intended use]
The applicator is intended for use in delivering the MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles to bleeding surgical sites for open surgical procedures or endoscopic / laparoscopic surgical procedures.
[Directions for use]
To prevent product contamination prior to application, always follow aseptic techniques. For open surgical procedures:
1. Prior to initiating the procedure, visually inspect the package containing the Applicator for any signs of damage. If damage is visible, do not use the Applicator.
2. Remove the MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles from its packaging and twist off its protective cap. Connect the applicator onto the container of the MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles. Applicator is now ready for deployment.
3. Position the applicator tip at the site of bleeding, and begin delivering MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles by pumping its container.
4. Avoid direct contact between the applicator tip and blood at the surgical site to minimize the potential for clotting the tip during MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particle application.
5. If the applicator becomes occluded during use, replace it with a new applicator.
For endoscopic / laparoscopic surgical procedures:
1. Setup the trocar prior to use, and carefully remove the applicator from the trocar after use.
2. Maintain direct visualization of the applicator tip at all times in order to minimize the potential for unintended contact with tissue, organs,
