- These are used primarily in clinical settings to maintain the patency of intravenous (IV) access devices
Uses
- Catheter Maintenance:
- Routine flushing of indwelling vascular access devices (IV lines) to ensure they remain open (patent) and free of blockages
- Post-Medication Clearout:
- Flushing the line after medication delivery to ensure all medicine has reached the patient’s bloodstream and to prevent drug-to-drug interactions within the catheter
- Blood Sample Preparation:
- Used to clear lines before or after drawing blood samples
Features
- 10mL Pre-filled Volume:
- Provides a standard large-volume flush of 0.9% Sodium Chloride (saline) solution
- Sterile Fluid Path (SFP):
- The internal fluid and path are terminally sterilized for safe administration directly into the vascular system
- Standardized Barrel Size:
- Often utilizes a 12mL barrel to maintain a consistent diameter, which helps regulate pressure during the flush and reduces the risk of catheter rupture
- Clear Graduations:
- Easy-to-read markings on the barrel for precise monitoring of the flush volume
- Dietary and Allergy Safe:
- Preservative-free, DEHP-free, and not made with natural rubber latex
Benefits
- Reduced Risk of Contamination:
- Eliminates the need to manually fill syringes from multi-dose vials, significantly lowering the risk of cross-contamination and preparation errors
- Time Savings:
- Pre-filled design removes multiple preparation steps, allowing healthcare providers to focus more on direct patient care
- Prevents Reflux:
- Designed with a "no-reflux" technique to prevent blood from backing up into the catheter tip when the syringe is disconnected, which helps prevent clot formation
- Workflow Efficiency:
- Color-coded labeling (magenta 10mL versions) allows for rapid identification in busy clinical environments
