Frequently asked questions
How does this connector ensure a secure catheter connection?
The B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is designed for maximum safety and reliability during epidural and combined spinal-epidural (CSE) procedures. It ensures a secure fixation through several key engineering features:
- Enhanced Grip Strength: The connector is engineered to provide increased grip strength, maintaining a secure, fixed position for the catheter and minimizing the risk of displacement.
- Audible Connection Verification: A critical safety feature is the built-in mechanism that produces an audible clicking sound upon successful placement. This provides immediate, definitive confirmation that a solid connection has been achieved.
- Easy, One-Handed Operation: The design supports smooth and extremely easy operation using only one hand, which allows clinical staff to quickly and reliably secure the catheter during demanding procedures.
Is one-handed operation supported?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is specifically engineered for convenience and ease of use. It allows for smooth and extremely easy one-handed operation, helping to streamline setup during critical epidural or combined spinal-epidural (CSE) procedures.
Is the connector material BPA and latex-free?
The B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is designed with material safety in mind for sensitive medical procedures. The components are confirmed to be free from the following potentially harmful substances:
- BPA (Bisphenol A)
- DEHP
- PVC
- Natural rubber (Latex)
This high material compliance ensures suitability and minimizes patient risks during epidural or CSE procedures.
Does the Perifix connector use safe, compliant materials?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is designed with material safety as a priority for use in critical clinical settings. This ensures broad compatibility and patient safety.
The components are confirmed to be free from several potentially concerning substances, including:
- BPA (Bisphenol A)
- DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate)
- Natural rubber (Latex)
- PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)
Is this catheter connector latex-free?
Yes, material safety is a key feature of the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector, ensuring broad patient compatibility. The components are confirmed to be free of several materials often considered concerning in medical devices.
Specifically, the connectors do not contain:
- Natural rubber (latex)
- BPA (Bisphenol A)
- DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate)
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Is the Perifix connector PVC-free?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector prioritizes patient safety by ensuring all components are free from specific restricted materials. This feature makes it highly suitable for clinical use, minimizing potential material incompatibility issues.The connector is confirmed free of the following substances:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate)
- BPA (Bisphenol A)
- Natural rubber latex
Are the Perifix Catheter Connectors supplied sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connectors are supplied sterile. They are packaged 50 units per case, designed for reliable use in critical procedures like epidural and combined spinal-epidural (CSE) applications. The product also prioritizes patient safety and operational convenience:
- Secure Connection Verification: The connector features enhanced grip strength and provides an audible clicking sound upon placement to confirm a solid, secure attachment.
- Safe Composition: Components are confirmed to be free from BPA, DEHP, natural rubber (Latex), and PVC, ensuring biocompatibility.
- Ease of Use: The design allows for smooth and easy one-handed operation.
- Shelf Life: The connectors maintain a total shelf life of 36 months.
How many units are in a case?
Each case contains 50 connectors.
Is the connector compatible with different Perifix gauges?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is designed with configuration specificity to ensure a precise and secure connection across common Perifix catheter gauges.
The connectors are available in two specific versions:
- PERIFIX 19 Ga
- PERIFIX 20 Ga to 24 Ga
These connectors provide high reliability and safety. Key features include enhanced grip strength for secure fixation, an audible clicking sound to verify proper placement, and the ability for smooth, one-handed operation.
Does the connector provide audible confirmation?
Yes, the B. Braun Perifix Catheter Connector is specifically engineered to enhance safety and clinical efficiency by providing audible confirmation of a secure connection.
This confirmation is achieved via a clear clicking sound that verifies the catheter is correctly established and reliably fixed. This mechanism is a crucial safety feature for procedures such as epidurals or Combined Spinal Epidurals (CSE), ensuring immediate feedback on placement security.
