About PosiFlush Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe
The BD PosiFlush Prefilled Flush Syringes are designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of line flushing in clinical settings. Although flushing may appear to be a routine procedure, it is critical for maintaining catheter patency and minimizing the risk of complications such as occlusions and premature catheter failure. By adhering to best practices in flushing, including pre- and post-medication flushing, healthcare providers can ensure proper medication delivery and prevent interactions between incompatible drugs.
Key Features & Benefits
- 3-Rib Stopper: The advanced 3-rib stopper design is engineered to minimize the likelihood of catheter reflux, which can lead to occlusions and catheter damage. This innovative feature helps maintain the integrity of the catheter and supports consistent fluid flow.
- Consistent 10mL Syringe Barrel Diameter: The uniform barrel diameter helps to manage injection pressure, reducing the risk of catheter damage due to high-pressure injections. This design enhancement contributes to overall catheter longevity and performance.
- Luer-Lok™ Tip Cap: Featuring a robust seal, the Luer-Lok™ Tip Cap ensures closure integrity, preventing touch contamination and reducing the risk of infections. This helps to safeguard both clinician and patient safety by maintaining sterility.
- Retaining Ring: The built-in retaining ring prevents the plunger from being pulled back, which eliminates the possibility of solution entering non-sterile areas of the syringe. This design feature helps to mitigate the risk of contamination and ensures the integrity of the sterile solution.
- Clear Labeling and Bold Print: The syringes come with clear labeling that includes bold print for easy identification of syringe volume, lot number, and expiration date. The distinct labeling also differentiates between heparin and citrate syringes, ensuring compliance with Joint Commission and ISMP medication labeling guidelines. This clarity helps to prevent medication errors and promotes safe medication practices.
