Description
Caresite
Caresite is a needleless connector, which provides safe options for the preparation and administration of IV therapies. The product helps to protect healthcare workers from accidental needlestick injuries. The positive displacement feature helps to reduce the risk of catheter occlusions and therefore improves the outcome and efficiency of therapies.
Caresite forms a closed system as it is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants. It allows multiple usage through activation of the needleless connector by attaching a luer connector such as a syringe or an IV-set.
Features & Benefits:
- Luer-Slip and Luer-Lock compatible
- Easy access for Luer-Slip and Luer-Lock connections. Suitable for several IV procedures (e.g. Luer Lock connections, etc.). Do not leave connected luer slip syringes unattended.
- Easy disinfection
- Smooth surfaces designed for easy cleaning.
- Caresite is alcohol resistant.
- Easy to inspect and to flush
- Open fluid path designed to minimize areas where bacteria can collect.
- Clear design helps verify proper flush. Can be effectively flushed of blood or fluids.
- Blood and lipid compatible
- Caresite is compatible with lipids and blood.
- Average fluid displacement 0.029 ml (positive)
- Designed to reduce the risk of catheter occlusion.
- Designed to minimize slips and touch contamination
- Ergonomic design provides easy access by allowing a good grip and easy connection.
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.
