CARING FOR THE UPP PULLER
The UPP puller catheter guide and clamp have
been designed so that they may be quickly
disconnected, cleaned, and reprocessed to prevent
cross contamination. Follow the instructions in this
section to disassemble and reassemble the UPP
parts for cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important to
sterilize the Catheter Guide of the UPP puller.
Failure to do so may result in cross-contamination if
a new catheter contacts an unsterilized Catheter
Guide and is used on a patient during testing.
