A small, sterile, stand-alone, needleless plastic valve intended to mate two related intravenous line devices (e.g., hypodermic syringe and catheter port or tubing from an IV administration set) and hold them in a secured, sealed, locked position, and through which IV access is gained. It is intended to eliminate the use of needles for IV administration of medications.

Instructions for use

  • Do not over-tighten a Luer beyond the friction fit as this may damage both the Luer and the connector.
  • Do not hold catheter hub during disconnect as this may cause accidental removal of connector from hub.
  • After blood use, the connector can be flushed clean and does not require change-out.
  • Use routine flushing if connector is not used: 10 ml normal saline / 24 hours in order to maintain catheter patency.
  • Change connector in accordance with facility protocol and CDC guidelines: No more frequently than at 96-hour intervals, but at least every 7 days.
