B. Braun Caresite Luer Access Device (415122)

Luer-activated valve developed as needle-free injection port in IV applications Caresite® is a needleless connector that can be used for infusion and transfusion therapy. It is designed for aspiration, injection, or intravenous infusion of fluids upon insertion of a male luer fitting.Caresite® allows multiple usage through activation of the needle-free connector by attaching a luer slip / luer lock connector such as a syringe or IV tubing.AdvantagesLuer-Slip and Luer-Lock compatibleEasy access for Luer-Slip and Luer-Lock connections. Suitable for several IV procedures (e.g. Luer Lock connections, etc.).1 Do not leave connected luer slip syringes unattended.Easy disinfectionSmooth surfaces designed for easy cleaning.Caresite is alcohol resistant.Easy to inspect and to flushOpen 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 compatibleCaresite® 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 contaminationErgonomic design provides easy access by allowing a good grip and easy connection.Highly pressure resistantThe standalone Caresite® LAD is suitable for use with power injectors which allows more flexibility. Pressure resistance up to 400 psi @ 15 mL / sec.Technical dataFlow rate 208 mL / minPriming volume 0.22 mLNot made with PVCNot made with DEHPNot made with Latex / Natural rubberTested for 1,000 activationsAllows multiple access for direct aspiration or fluid injection.MRI compatible or conditionalNo metal parts contained.CompatibilityCompatible with SwabCap – disinfection cap.Patient populationThe device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. No gender or age-related limitations. There are no patient population restrictions.Risk prevention:Sharps InjuryNeedle-free systems are designed to provide convenient and safe needle-free IV access for injection, aspiration or parallel infusion.Air EmbolismA closed system helps to reduce the risk of air embolism due to the self-sealing valve which avoids intake of air.Chemical contaminationA closed system reduces the risk of chemical contamination as the valve prevents spillage / drug exposure. Microbial contamination / Airborne contamination / Touch contaminationProduct 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.
