Intended Use

The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluid intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. The needle shaft cover and tip shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These cathers may patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vasular anatony and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy. The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.

Device Description

The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is manually operated and contains a passive safety feature that automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter.
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is a device consisting of catheter assembly (catheter, caulking pin, and catheter hub), needle assembly (needle, needle housing, transparent flash chamber (needle connecting part) with filter, and needle protector) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover consisting of inner cylinder, outer cylinder, and junction cylinder).
The devices are an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of a slender, flexible, radio-opaque plastic with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line.
The grooved cannula, which allows the clinician to visualize flashback detection through the groove, indicates that there is confirmation of vessel entry. The whole length of the cannula, including the sharp end of the cannula, is covered by the needle shielding mechanism as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.
