Tubing Repairs
1. To repair a tubing leak, wrap non-porous tape (e.g., electrical tape) around the
tubing at the site of the leak.
2. To repair stretched tubing at the balloon connector, remove the compression ring
and pull the connector off the tubing. Then cut off a 1/2 inch segment from the end
of the tubing and reconnect the balloon connector and the compression ring.
3. To repair stretched tubing at the catheter junction, disconnect the tubing from the
junction. Then cut a 1/2 inch segment from the end of the tubing and reassemble the
junction.
If the leak is found at the QUICK CONNECT, an occlusive, clear dressing material may
be used to repair the leak.
