RISK PREVENTION

• Sharps Injury
  • Needle-free systems are designed to provide convenient and safe needle-free IV access for injection, aspiration or parallel infusion.
• Air Embolism
  • A closed system helps to reduce the risk of air embolism due to the self-sealing valve which avoids intake of air.
• Chemical contamination
  • A closed system reduces the risk of chemical contamination as the valve prevents spillage / drug exposure.
• Microbial contamination / Airborne contamination / Touch contamination
  • Product does not allow the entry of external contaminants in the system, forming an effective microbial barrier when exposed to a microbial burden.
  • Effective barrier to microbial contamination when swabbed with alcohol pad per the instruction for use. Helps to prevent bloodstream infections.
  • Swabbable valve forms a closed system as it is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants.2,5
