While activating foot pedal dispense
TISSEEL Fibrin Sealant through applicator

TIPS
• The patient vent line attached to the trocar cannula vent valve will only vent gas out when foot pedal is depressed.
After connection to trocar cannula, ensure vent valve is fully open on trocar cannula prior to spray application.
• If tip becomes occluded during use, remove plugged tip by unscrewing it counterclockwise. Using a sterile cloth,
wipe any clotted material off exposed tube ends. Screw on new tip and tighten with finger pressure.
• The twin-tube assembly can be easily separated as necessary to allow freedom of movement.

The use of TISSEEL Fibrin Sealant is restricted to experienced surgeons who have been trained in the use of TISSEEL.
In order to ensure optimal safe use of TISSEEL by spray application, apply a minimum spray distance of 2 cm and a maximum spray
pressure of 1.5 bar (22 psi/maximum gas flow rate 2.0 liters per minute) to minimize the potential risk of air or gas embolism, tissue
rupture, or air or gas entrapment with compression.
While depressing foot pedal, adjust gas
flow rate to 1.0-2.0 liters per minute.
Check gas flow by noting height of ball in
flow gauge while stepping on foot pedal.
4
Attach spray set to regulator. Connect the
blue vent line filter to the blue female luer
and the clear gas line filter to the male
luer on the regulator.
3
Depress foot pedal to start gas flow prior
to applying TISSEEL Fibrin Sealant. Check
gas flow gauge on regulator before
inserting applicator. If flow level ball does
not move when foot pedal is depressed,
the applicator tip is occluded and should
be replaced.
2
Confirm actual flow of max 2 liters/min
with OR personnel.
