Directions for Installation and Use
Plastic Resin Needle Recapper (model #1014)
Select an area that is flat and relatively smooth for installing stainless steel base. Recapper should be positioned where syringe cannot be bumped inadvertently. To facilitate installing and removing recapper from base when mounted on a set-up tray, be certain to position the open end of base away from side of tray. Clean and dry the area. Remove protective tape backing and press base firmly onto selected area. Recapper can be rotated 360° for use in any position.
Attach needle with cover onto syringe but do not tighten excessively due to risk of stripping plastic needle threads. Firmly insert attached needle cover into opening of recapper and twist clockwise approximately one turn. Remove syringe with needle from secured needle cover by pulling away from device. Syringe with needle can be stored in device for subsequent use by inserting syringe with needle straight into needle cover. To remove, twist syringe with cover one or more turns counterclockwise and pull syringe with attached cover out of recapper. Covered needle can now be removed from syringe and disposed of safely. Recapper, with flow-through design, can be spray disinfected or snapped out of base for routine sterilization.
Solo-Cap II™ Needle Recapper (model #1013)
To attach Solo-Cap II™ Needle Recapper to plastic set-up tray, first twist threaded cylinder counterclockwise to full extent. Note: to simplify installation and removal, the recapper has been designed so that the cylinder will not separate from the clip. Attach clip portion over edge of tray completely and twist cylinder clockwise firmly. To remove device from tray for autoclaving or repositioning, twist cylinder counterclockwise to full extent and slip recapper off of edge.
