- The design of needle-free connectors often includes features that reduce liquid residue, making them applicable in various areas, including:
- Intravenous (IV) therapy: Needle-free connectors can reduce the amount of liquid residue within the connector during the IV therapy, minimizing medication wastage and the risk of cross-contamination.
- Blood collection: Needle-free connectors can be used in blood collection systems, such as during blood dialysis or blood testing. Their design helps reduce blood residue within the connector, improving sample accuracy and reliability.
- Injection and infusion: Needle-free connectors are beneficial for administering injections or infusing fluids. They help minimize residual drops, ensuring accurate medication dosing and smooth, fluid administration.
- Blood product transfusion: When transfusing blood or blood products, needle-free connectors can reduce the amount of residual blood within the infusion system, enhancing blood safety and quality.
- Infusion pumps and drainage systems: Needle-free connectors can be used with infusion pumps and drainage systems, effectively reducing liquid residue and backflow within the connector and ensuring the system's smooth operation.
- The reduced liquid residue feature of needle-free connectors provides advantages in various medical applications, offering safer and more reliable fluid administration and blood management.
- Our Gen2 needle-free connector only has 0.016ml dead space/ liquid residue.
- In the application of chemotherapy infusion and drug preparation, it is generally required to use products that meet at least the USP 797 standard.
- USP 797 Overview:
- USP 797 is a set of guidelines established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
- It provides detailed standards for the preparation of sterile medications.
- Focuses on safety, quality, and hygiene requirements for compounding and infusion.
- High-Risk Medical Procedures:
- Chemotherapy infusion and drug preparation are considered high-risk medical procedures.
- Patient treatment outcomes and safety are of paramount importance.
- Benefits of USP 797-Compliant Products:
- Products compliant with USP 797 offer higher quality assurance.
- Ensures sterility and aseptic handling of medications during chemotherapy.
- Reduces the risk of cross-contamination and other potential hazards.
- Global Standards and Regulations:
- Besides USP 797, other relevant standards and regulations may exist in different regions or countries.
- Compliance depends on specific healthcare facilities and treatment protocols.
- Essential for Safety and Effectiveness:
- To ensure the safety and effectiveness of chemotherapy infusion and drug preparation.
- Using products that meet applicable standards is essential.
- Note: The choice of specific standards may vary based on the healthcare facility and treatment protocols, and compliance with these standards is crucial for maintaining high-quality and safe medical procedures.
