There will be 2 modifications to the HCA Central Line Kit:

1.  Omit 1 (of 2) Facemasks.

2.  Substitute vinyl gloves in place of Nitrile gloves for Step 1-Removal.

Recommendations:

  • The Facemask provided in the Central Line Kit should be utilized for the provider.  Please obtain a second facemask for the patient from regular stock.
  • No practice change is indicated for substitution of vinyl gloved in place of nitrile gloves.

Thank you for your continued DEDICATION to patient care!
