(126 days)
As indicated in 21 CFR Part 880.5200, The Nexiva™ intravascular catheter is inserted into a patient's vascular system for a short-term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravascularly. The needle-shielding feature and luer access port, aid in the prevention of needle-stick injuries. Blood is contained within the device during the catheter insertion process aiding in the prevention of blood exposure. This catheter may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of procedure.
The 18-22 gauge Nexiva™ catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 300 psi when the luer access port(s) is removed and a direct connection is made.
The BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System consists of an over-the needle, peripheral intravascular catheter made from Vialon™ polyurethane, integrated extension tubing with a Y adapter and clamp, BD Q-Syte™ luer access port, and a passive needleshielding mechanism.
The design of the Nexiva™ IV catheter can be described as a closed system since it protects clinicians from blood exposure during the catheter insertion procedure. Since the needle is withdrawn through a septum that seals after the needle has been removed and both ports of the Y adapter are closed, blood is contained within the NexivaTM device during catheter insertion. The pressure exerted on the needle as it passes through the septum wipes blood from the needle, further reducing potential blood exposure. The slide clamp on the integrated extension tubing is provided to eliminate blood exposure when the vent plug is replaced with an infusion set connection of a BD Q-Syte™ luer access port.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System, based on the provided document:

§ 880.5200 Intravascular catheter.
(a)
Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
