Align the dots if available. Gently insert all of the ampoule lid into the Snapit. The ampoule lid becomes locked in at the neck.
•
With little effort, lever away from the dot to snap off the lid. The lid should remain held in the Snapit.
•
Carefully aim over a sharps bin and eject the lid by pushing down the metal rod with your thumb.
NOTE:
•
If your standard practice requires you to turn the dots away from your body, make sure that both dots are still aligned after turning and before snapping.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not break away from the dot on the glass ampoule, the glass lid may shatter inside Snapit.
NOTE:
•
The lid is propelled out. Aim closely over the sharps bin.
•
Only eject ampoule lids into an approved sharps bin.
•
Clean your Snapit regularly. Remove the O-ring as shown to disassemble the parts and clean with water or a hospital grade cleaner. Do this in a clean dish to avoid loss of parts.
•
Dry completely then re-assemble.
NOTE:
•
If the ampoule lid breaks, tap the Snapit over a sharps bin to remove excess glass pieces then rinse under running water before disassembling.
* It may be necessary to clean the Snapit after opening an ampoule.
