Loading the Cartridge
For safety´s sake, wash both hands thoroughly, dry with
a disposable towel and put latex gloves on both hands before
opening the sterile blisters or touching the customer´s
ear.
1. Make sure the instrument is cleansed before and after
each use.
2. Remove the twin blister from the package and seperate the
twin blister by tearing along the perforation between the cartridges.
For your convenience, Sterile Prep Pads are packaged with the
studs for cleaning the customer´s ears.
3. Peel off the paper backing from one blister, exposing the
piercing cartridge.
DO NOT REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE FROM THE BLISTER.
4. Holding the sides of the plastic blister firmly with the
opening on the bottom, slide the clasp end of the cartridge
down and forward into the channel in the instrument until it
is seated fully forward (figures 3A & 3B).
5. Rotate the back of the cartridge down into the channel until
it is firmly seated as shown in Figure 3C.
6. Lift off the plastic blister (Fig. 3D). Do not discard the
plastic blister, as you will need it later.
7. You are ready to pierce (Fig. 3E).
DO NOT TOUCH THE CARTRIDGE AT ANYTIME.
Always use the blister as a holder when installing, removing
or transporting the cartridge. In this way, sterility of the
the piercing studs and clasps is maintained, and accidental
worldwide contact with the customer´s body fluids is
avoided.
Piercing the Ear
Be sure the ears have been cleansed with the Sterile Prep
Pad provided. You may also use a cotton ball saturated with
Studex Ear Care Solution or alcohol.
1. Place the ear between the end of the stud and the clasp,
carefully aligning the point of the stud with the marked ear
as shown in Figure 4. While maintaining proper alignment,
slowly squeeze the handle. This will slide the stud forward
for more accurate positioning.
2. Keeping the proper alignment, squeeze the handle firmly
to pierce the ear. The clasp will be automatically installed
on the stud with the proper spacing (Figure 5).
3. Release pressure on the handle (Fig.6) and carefully pull
the handle straight away from the ear (towards the bottom
of the handle) - See figure 7. This will release the stud
from the clear plastic carrier and the clasp from the cartridge.
4. Remove the used cartridge from the handle (see removal
instructions) and discard the cartridge and the blister. Repeat
this procedure for additional ear piercings.
After piercing is complete, wipe the pierced area of the
ear (front and back) with a cotton ball saturated with STUDEX
Ear Care Solution. Apply MediSept Ear Care Gel to the front
and back of each piercing. Give the customer after-piercing
care instructions to take home with them.
NOTE: When the piercing is complete, ask the
customer if they are able to stand up, or if they need a few
minutes. If the customer stands up and feels dizzy, help them
sit down, and have them wait 3 to 5 minutes before leaving.
Removing the Cartridge
1. After piercing, place the plastic blister (the one that
the cartridge came in) down on top of the used cartridge as
shown in Fig. 8.
2. Firmly holding the sides of the blister as shown in Figure
9, slide the blister and cartridge slightly forward to release
the cartridge from the channel.
3. Lift the entire cartridge assembly straight up and out
of the channel (Fig.10).
4. Dispose of the used cartridge and blister in the appropriate
manner.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CARTRIDGE AT ANY TIME.
Always use the blister as a holder when installing, removing
or transporting the cartridge. In this way, sterility of the
piercing studs and clasps is maintained, and accidental worldwide
contact with the customer´s body fluids is avoided.
