DESCRIPTION
The ON-Q* QUIKBLOC* Over-the-Needle Catheter Set consists of a catheter assembled over an
echogenic needle.
• Needle: 20 GA ECHOBRIGHT* Echogenic
• (Stimulating and non-Stimulating)
• Catheter: 16 GA open tip with lateral ports and 10 mm depth marks
WARNINGS
• Avoid placing the catheter in joint spaces. Although there is no definitive
established causal relationship, some literature has shown a possible
association between continuous intra-articular infusions (particularly with
bupivacaine)and the subsequent development of chondrolysis.
• Do not reinsert the needle through the catheter, after the catheter is placed.
This may damage the catheter and result in the catheter breaking off inside the
patient.
• Ensure that needle or catheter is not placed in a vein or artery. Inadvertent
intravascular delivery may result in systemic toxic effects. Refer to the drug
manufacturer's package insert.
• If blood is observed during placement of the needle or catheter, it may have
been placed incorrectly. Stop immediately and follow currently accepted
medical practices.
• Do not bend the QUIKBLOC* Set to excess as this may cause product damage.
• Consider location of needle and catheter insertion to avoid injury to nerves,
blood vessels, organs and other anatomical structures.
• Catheter should not be cut as this may lead to failure of catheter function, and/
or retention of catheter components on removal.
CAUTIONS
• Product is ethylene oxide sterilized.
• Do not use if package has been opened or is damaged.
• Catheter is MR safe.

the infusion system and discontinue use.

Instructions For Use
USE ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE
PLACING THE CATHETER
1. Prime and connect the 24 inch injection set to the QUIKBLOC* Set to facilitate medication
administration (optional).
2. Prepare the procedure site according to your facility's protocol.
3. Introduce the QUIKBLOC* Set through the skin.
Note: Using an 18 GA needle to create an entry point can help ease the insertion process.
Note: The  on the hub of the needle aligns with the needle bevel facing upward. The arrow
may be used as a reference point on QUIKBLOC* catheter position during placement.
4. Gradually advance the QUIKBLOC* Set to the desired location using ultrasound and/or nerve
stimulation techniques.
Caution: If excessive resistance is encountered, stop, remove the QUIKBLOC* Set and
restart the procedure.
5. Aspirate and inject medication as needed.
6. Once the desired location is confirmed, stabilize the catheter at the hub and remove the
needle, leaving the catheter in place.
WARNING: To avoid damaging the catheter, never reinsert the needle through
the catheter after the catheter is placed.
7. Attach the 6 inch extension set to the catheter hub.
8. Secure the catheter hub in place with the Connector Securement Device.
Note: For best adhesion, prepare and dry skin. See reverse side for illustrated instructions.
a. Lift the top flaps and remove the paper backing to expose the adhesive strip.
b. Place catheter hub on bottom adhesive strip and secure with the top flaps over the
catheter hub.
c. Peel the paper backing from the Connector Securement Device and secure in desired
position on the skin.
9. Affix the catheter identification label to the extension set.
10. Apply adhesive strips, occlusive dressing or other securement devices.
11. Connect the extension set of the catheter to an infusion device. Ensure the connection is
secure.
CATHETER REMOVAL
1. Remove dressing and any securement devices from the catheter site.
2. Grasp the catheter close to the skin and gently pull to remove. The catheter should be easy to
remove. Do not tug or quickly pull on catheter during removal.
Cautions:
• If resistance is encountered or catheter stretches, STOP. Continued pulling could break the
catheter.
• Do not cut or forcefully remove the catheter.
• After removal, check distal end of catheter for black marking to ensure entire catheter
was removed.
3. Cover puncture site with appropriate dressing.
4. Discard catheter per standard hospital protocol.
