Clave Neutral-Displacement Connectors (MicroClave™/ NanoClave™/ Clave™Neutron) are intended for the aspiration, injection, or gravity/pump flow of IV fluids and blood upon insertion of a male luer connector. Clave Connectors may be used with power injectors at a maximum pressure of 400 psi and a maximum flow rate of 10ml/sec. Clave Connectors will prevent microbial ingress for seven (7) days.

Clave Neutral-Displacement Connectors are needlefree, bi-directional connectors that utilize a pre-slit septum which prevents microbial ingress when in the un-activated state and allows access to the fluid path when activated with an ISO 80369-7 compliant male luer. The septum offers neutral displacement of fluid during connection or disconnection of a male luer and self-seals upon disconnection to prevent fluid loss or air ingress. The Neutron incorporates additional technology that will prevent fluid displacement resulting from syringe plunger compression; patient vascular pressure changes, such as coughing or sneezing; and IV solution container run-dry. The Clave Family of Connectors do not require a cap but may be used with disinfecting caps containing 70% isopropyl alcohol.
