Periodically monitor the dressing and catheter site to confirm secure attachment and continued proper infusion, especially after bathing, showering, or if the dressing and catheter site becomes wet. If the dressing comes off, evaluate to ensure proper catheter placement, and then apply a new dressing. As with all adhesive products, apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin. When using IV3000 to secure tubing sets of portable infusion pumps, including insulin pumps for diabetics, extra care should be exercised during periods of vigorous activity or when exposed to wet conditions. Check dressing frequently to assure adhesion of dressing, as a loss of adhesion can occur, potentially resulting in catheter dislodgement and loss of medication flow. Users may consider using the larger IV3000 (product code 4008) dressing, with a greater adherent surface area, as a replacement dressing where additional adhesion is needed. IV3000 should be used on IV or epidural sites only. If a film dressing is required for open wounds such as pressure sores, burns or donor sites, OpSite* Flexigrid* Moisture Vapour Permeable Adhesive Film Dressing should be used. Use on prepared dry skin only.   *This product image is only for reference.
