BD Q-Syte - Tri-Extension Needle-free Connector with 15 cm (6 in.) Macro Bore Set And Spin Nut

The BD Q-Syte Tri-Extension Needle-free Connector with 15 cm Macro Bore Set and Spin Nut is a medical device designed to facilitate intravenous (IV) therapy access. This device provides a closed system for fluid and medication administration, aiming to minimize the risk of microbial contamination and accidental needle-stick injuries. The connector features a split septum design that allows for luer access while maintaining a closed fluid path.

This design is intended to ensure reliable operation and a clear, visible fluid pathway for monitoring. The integrated extension set is constructed with macro bore tubing, which is designed to support the efficient and rapid infusion of fluids and medications. A spin nut mechanism is incorporated to secure the connection, promoting a tight and leak-resistant seal.

The needle-free nature of the connector is a key aspect, contributing to enhanced patient safety and reduced occupational hazards for healthcare professionals. This device aligns with recommended practices for minimizing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) as outlined by various healthcare organizations. The overall design focuses on providing a secure, closed, and efficient method for IV access and fluid delivery in a clinical setting.

The device is supplied sterile for single-use applications. The approximate priming volume for this configuration is 0.8 mL, and the tubing features a small inner diameter of 0.

89mm. It includes three slide clamps for managing flow and three fused ports for connection points. The connector type is specifically the Q-Syte system, and it utilizes a spin male luer lock for attachment.

The removable connectors offer flexibility in setup.
