Frequently asked questions
Does this connector feature positive displacement?
The B. Braun CARESITE connector utilizes Positive Displacement Technology.
This feature is designed to manage fluid flow efficiently, allowing for both aspiration and the flow of fluids (injection or gravity) immediately upon the insertion of a male luer fitting. Additionally, it has a very low priming volume of 0.5 mL, which helps minimize fluid waste.
Is this connector free from DEHP and natural rubber latex?
Yes, this B. Braun CARESITE connector is manufactured with patient safety as a priority.It is confirmed to be not made with DEHP or natural rubber latex, helping to address common patient sensitivities and reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
What design features improve usability?
The B. Braun CARESITE connector is engineered with several features that promote secure and efficient fluid administration:
- Positive Displacement Technology: This allows for aspiration and controlled fluid flow (injection or gravity) immediately upon male luer fitting insertion.
- Visual Confirmation: The clear housing enables clinicians to visually confirm fluid aspiration and flow during administration.
- Secure Locking Mechanism: The set features a reliable interface that includes a female luer lock (with a cap) and a rotating spin-lock male luer lock for secure line integration.
- Line Control: A fixed slide clamp is incorporated for simple and reliable management of the extension set line.
- Low Priming Volume: The connector requires a minimal priming volume of only 0.5 mL, which helps reduce fluid waste and speeds up the preparation process.
What is the low priming volume of the connector set?
The B. Braun CARESITE Positive Displacement Needleless Connector with the 5-inch extension set features a very low priming volume of only 0.5 mL. This minimal volume is a key benefit, designed to help minimize fluid waste during administration.
Is this positive displacement connector sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun CARESITE Positive Displacement Needleless Connector with 5” Bonded Small Bore T-Port Extension Set is sold as sterile.
Does this feature positive displacement technology?
Yes, the B. Braun CARESITE connector is specifically designed with Positive Displacement Technology.
This technology ensures secure and precise fluid management, enabling key functions upon the insertion of a male luer fitting:
- Aspiration of fluids
- Injection (fluid flow)
- Gravity flow (fluid flow)
The clear housing facilitates visual confirmation throughout the process.
What secure locking mechanisms are featured?
This connector set features secure connections provided by two main locking mechanisms:
- Female Luer Lock (equipped with a protective cap)
- Rotating Spin-Lock Male Luer Lock
The extension set also includes a fixed slide clamp for line management.
Does this connector contain BPA or PVC materials?
Yes, the B. Braun CARESITE connector does contain both BPA and PVC as part of its construction materials. For users monitoring material sensitivities, it is beneficial to note that this device is manufactured:
- Without DEHP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate).
- Without natural rubber latex, addressing common patient sensitivities.
Does positive displacement minimize catheter occlusion?
Yes, this connector features Positive Displacement Technology. This advanced design is specifically engineered to help minimize the risk of catheter occlusion by managing fluid dynamics during disconnection and connection, ensuring secure aspiration and fluid flow (injection or gravity) when the male luer fitting is inserted.
