Frequently asked questions
What does Blood Control Technology do?
The Blood Control (BC) Technology is a crucial safety feature integrated into these shielded IV catheters to minimize exposure risk during the procedure.
This technology provides enhanced safety by:
- Reducing Blood Exposure: It is designed to actively control and significantly minimize the risk of peripheral blood exposure immediately upon needle withdrawal after successful venipuncture.
- Promoting Safety: By limiting unnecessary blood contact, it helps maintain a cleaner and safer clinical environment for both the healthcare provider and the patient.
What are the benefits of BD Vialon catheter material?
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are constructed using BD Vialon catheter biomaterial, a key component of the product’s advanced design.
This material is utilized because it is a high-quality biomaterial specifically known for its superior performance characteristics, which ensures reliable function during intravenous access.
Does BD Instaflash technology ensure quick access?
Yes, the BD Insyte Autoguard BC Catheters utilize BD Instaflash needle technology, which is designed to confirm vessel entry quickly and efficiently. This feature optimizes clinical workflow by enabling rapid visualization of flashback, confirming successful vascular access reliably.
This technology is part of a system that includes:
- Blood Control (BC) Technology: Minimizes the risk of blood exposure during catheter insertion.
- BD Vialon Catheter Biomaterial: High-quality material intended for reliable catheter performance and durability.
Do these catheters feature advanced safety shielding?
Yes, the BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are engineered with advanced, integrated safety features to minimize risk and improve clinical efficiency. All features are designed to comply with the highest standards for venous access.
Key Safety and Technology Components:
- Autoguard Shielded Design: The integrated Autoguard system provides a safety shield that automatically covers the needle tip upon withdrawal, significantly minimizing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
- Blood Control (BC) Technology: This core technology is designed to minimize blood exposure and spillage during the venipuncture and insertion process, enhancing safety and hygiene for the clinician.
- BD Instaflash Needle Technology: This feature helps confirm proper vessel entry quickly and reliably through rapid visualization of blood flashback.
- BD Vialon Catheter Biomaterial: The catheter is constructed with high-quality BD Vialon material, known for its reliable performance.
What specific gauge sizes are offered?
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are offered in a wide range of standard gauge sizes, with each size being color-coded for quick visual identification in clinical settings.
The available gauges and their corresponding color codes are:
| Gauge | Color Code |
|---|---|
| 24G | Yellow |
| 22G | Blue |
| 20G | Pink |
| 18G | Green |
| 16G | Gray |
These gauges are available across various lengths (e.g., 3/4”, 1”, 1.16”, 1.88”) and styles, including standard insertion and winged designs, depending on the specific product configuration.
What catheter lengths are available?
Yes, the BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are offered in several different insertion lengths, helping clinicians select the most appropriate configuration for patient needs.
These high-quality catheters, constructed using BD Vialon catheter biomaterial, are available in lengths including:
- ¾ inch
- 1 inch
- 1.16 inches
- 1.88 inches
A full range of gauges (16G to 24G) is offered across these various lengths.
How many catheters are included per case?
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are supplied in bulk packaging standard for most configurations, designed for clinical use: * Each box contains 50 catheters. * Each case contains 4 boxes (50/bx, 4 bx/cs). This results in a total of 200 catheters per case.
Which brand manufactures these catheters?
These catheters are manufactured by BD, a well-known brand in medical devices.
What is the case quantity?
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are typically supplied with 200 units per case.
This quantity is achieved through the following packaging configuration:
- 50 units per box (bx)
- 4 boxes per case (cs)
Is the catheter material kink-resistant?
Yes, the BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheters are constructed using the proprietary BD Vialon catheter biomaterial.
This high-performance material is crucial for reliable clinical use, as it is engineered to:
- Resist Kinking: It helps prevent the catheter from softening or kinking within the vein, ensuring consistent and reliable fluid flow.
- Facilitate Insertion: The material is designed for smoother and easier catheter insertion.
- Enhance Performance: BD Vialon offers proven performance characteristics that help support patient comfort and minimize the risk of mechanical complications.
