Description

The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter, developed by Becton Dickinson (BD), is an advanced peripheral intravenous catheter designed to enhance safety and efficiency in clinical settings. This device is engineered to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and blood exposure during venipuncture and IV access, making it an essential tool for healthcare professionals.

Key Features

  • Needle Shielding Mechanism: The catheter features a push-button needle retraction system that fully encapsulates the needle post-use, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.

  • Blood Control Technology: Available in the BC and BC Pro variants, this technology prevents blood flow from the catheter hub until a secure luer connection is established, reducing blood exposure and eliminating the need for venous compression during insertion.

  • BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology: This notched needle design provides immediate confirmation of vessel entry through flashback, improving first-attempt insertion success. It is available on select sizes, typically ranging from 18G to 24G.

Material and Design

  • BD Vialon™ Catheter Material: The proprietary biomaterial softens significantly after insertion, allowing for longer dwell times and reducing the risk of phlebitis and mechanical complications compared to traditional FEP catheters.

  • Enhanced Control: The design includes a tall push tab and three ridges to improve advancement control and prevent rotation during insertion. The catheter is available in winged and non-winged configurations, with color-coded options for easy gauge identification.

  • Radiopaque and High-Pressure Rated: The catheter is radiopaque for better visibility under imaging and can withstand high pressure (up to 300 psi in most sizes), making it suitable for power injection in certain models.

Safety and Compliance

The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ is a sterile, single-use device that is latex-free, DEHP-free, PVC-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free. It meets international safety standards, classified as EU Class IIa and USA Class II 510K.

Available Sizes

  • Gauge Sizes: 14G, 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, 24G
  • Lengths: Typically from 0.75 inches to 1.88 inches

Indications for Use

This catheter is intended for short-term peripheral intravenous access for the infusion of fluids, medications, and/or blood withdrawal. It is suitable for use in adults, children, and infants, commonly employed in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare environments.

Handling and Maintenance

Healthcare providers are advised to follow standard aseptic techniques for insertion and securement. The device should not be reused or re-sterilized and should be stored in a dry, sterile environment. The typical shelf life is three years, ensuring long-term availability for clinical needs.
