Frequently asked questions
Are these safety needles NIOSH/CDC compliant?
Yes, the ICU Medical Hypodermic Needle-Pro Safety Needles are specifically engineered to meet stringent NIOSH and CDC recommendations for injection safety and sharps injury prevention.
Key features that ensure compliance and maximum safety include:
- Single-Handled Activation: The integrated safety mechanism engages using only one hand, ensuring the clinician’s fingers and hands remain safely behind the sharp.
- Secure Locking: Once activated, the needle is securely locked within the protective safety device until proper disposal.
- Visual Confirmation: Clinicians receive clear, positive confirmation that the safety feature has been successfully engaged.
- No Added Dead Space: The protective design does not introduce any dead space into the 1mL TB syringe assembly, which is crucial for accurate dosing.
- Intradermal Use: The safety sheath rotates completely, allowing for safe and precise low-angle intradermal injections.
Which fixed needle sizes fit the TB syringe?
The ICU Medical Hypodermic Needle-Pro Safety Needles are permanently attached to a 1mL TB Syringe.
The specific fixed needle sizes currently available are:
- 26 Gauge (G) x 3/8”
- 27 Gauge (G) x 1/2”
These safety-engineered units are designed for optimal performance. The fixed needle assembly ensures the protective safety device does not add any dead space to the injection volume, which helps maintain dosing accuracy. Furthermore, the safety sheath fully rotates, making these units ideal for low-angle intradermal injections. The needle is securely locked upon activation for safe, single-handed disposal, meeting NIOSH/CDC recommendations.
What is the volume of the TB syringe included with these needles?
These needles are fixed to a 1mL TB syringe.
Does it have single-handed safety activation?
Yes, the ICU Medical Needle-Pro features an integral safety mechanism specifically engineered for use with a single-handed technique.
This design prioritizes clinician safety and meets stringent NIOSH/CDC recommendations by ensuring:
- Maximal Protection: The user’s hands and fingers remain safely behind the exposed sharp throughout the injection and activation process.
- Secure Disposal: Once activated, the safety feature securely locks the needle within the device, maintaining protection through disposal.
- Clear Indication: Clinicians can easily verify when the safety feature is properly engaged.
Does the safety sheath rotate for intradermal injections?
Yes, the design of the Needle-Pro Safety Needle specifically supports low-angle intradermal injections. The safety sheath is engineered to rotate completely, ensuring maximum flexibility and proper angle positioning required for these procedures. This makes the device highly suitable for procedures like TB testing.
What is the typical case quantity?
These ICU Medical safety needles and syringes are designed for high-volume clinical settings and are packaged in cases containing 600 units total. The configuration is as follows:
- Units per Box: 100 safety needle/syringe units
- Boxes per Case: 6 boxes
- Total Case Quantity: 600 units
Are various needle gauges available?
Yes, the ICU Medical Needle-Pro units are fixed to a 1mL TB syringe and are generally offered in a range of gauges including 25G, 26G, and 27G.
Specific confirmed configurations available include:
- 26 Gauge x 3/8”
- 27 Gauge x 1/2”
A notable benefit is that the safety mechanism is specifically designed not to add any dead space to the injection, ensuring accurate dosing.
Where are these safety needles made?
The ICU Medical Hypodermic Needle-Pro Safety Needles are manufactured in the US.
Does the safety device ensure zero dead space?
Yes, the ICU Medical Hypodermic Needle-Pro is specifically engineered for precise delivery. The needle protection device does not add any dead space to the injection system, which is critical for ensuring accurate dosing, especially with the included 1mL TB syringe.
Is the safety feature easily and securely activated?
Yes, the Needle-Pro system is engineered for ease of use and maximum clinician protection. It features an integrated safety mechanism that meets critical NIOSH/CDC recommendations.
Key features ensuring security and ease of use include:
- Single-Handed Activation: The safety mechanism is activated using a simple, single-handed technique.
- Hand Protection: The design ensures the user’s hands and fingers remain safely behind the exposed sharp during the entire procedure and activation process.
- Secure Locking: Once engaged, the needle is securely locked inside the safety device, remaining protected through disposal. The clinician also has a clear visual indication that the feature has been successfully activated.
