Kiwi Vac 6000S | Clinical Innovations
Complete Vacuum Delivery System
Part # VAC-6000S Exp 1/17
The Kiwi Vac 6000S is designed for use with low occiput anterior (OA) and outlet presentations. The soft flexible cup expands and molds to the fetal head which safely increases cup contact area and vacuum hold.
Technique Tips for Kiwi Vac 6000S:
1) Locate Flexion Point
Use examining finger to locate flexion point, 3 cm forward of the posterior fontanelle along the sagittal suture.
The center of the vacuum cup should always be placed over the flexion point with the sagittal suture in the midline.
Placing the cup on the flexion point facilitates delivery of the smallest diameters of the fetal head.
2) Use Distance Markings
With the examining finger on the flexion point, use the opposite hand to mark where the back of the examining finger comes in contact with the perineum. Hold that mark as the examining finger is removed, and use the cup’s distance markings to measure the cup insertion distance from perineum to flexion point. Insert the cup to the measured distance mark to facilitate placement of the cup over the flexion point.
3) Traction /Countertraction
After the cup is placed and gentle traction when contractions begin. Use the thumb and index finger of the
non-pulling hand to provide counterpressure and monitor decent, flexion and autorotation. The non-pulling hand is essential to help prevent complete cup detachments.
In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
