Description

The BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System is a sophisticated, all-in-one solution designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of peripheral intravenous access. Developed by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), this system integrates multiple components into a single pre-assembled device, significantly reducing the risk of contamination and needlestick injuries.

Key Components

• IV Catheter
• Extension Set
• Stabilization Device
• Needle-Free Connector(s)

These components are seamlessly integrated to minimize manipulation, providing a streamlined experience for healthcare professionals.

Innovative Features

The system includes proprietary technologies such as BD Instaflash™ needle technology for immediate vessel entry confirmation and a passive safety needle-shielding mechanism to prevent needlestick injuries. The catheter is made from BD Vialon™ polyurethane, which softens after insertion, allowing for longer dwell times and reducing phlebitis rates.

Enhanced Stability

The built-in stabilization platform significantly reduces accidental dislodgement, preserving insertion sites and lowering the risk of complications such as phlebitis and infiltration. The pre-attached extension set with a Y adapter and clamp is designed to reduce movement at the insertion site, further enhancing stability.

Needle-Free Connectors

Available with BD MaxZero™ or BD Q-Syte™ connectors, the system supports both single and dual port configurations, offering flexibility to meet various clinical needs.

Power Injection Compatibility

Select models are compatible with power injectors, supporting high-flow protocols for contrast media. The Nexiva Diffusics™ variant features a diffusion catheter tip to reduce motion and force on the vein wall during power injection.

Clinical Benefits

• Reduced Complications: Up to 84% reduction in accidental dislodgement and up to 69% reduction in phlebitis rates.
• Blood Exposure Reduction: Up to 98% reduction during insertion, enhancing safety for healthcare workers.
• Improved First-Attempt Success: Enhances insertion success and reduces painful insertions.

Compliance and Standards

The system complies with Infusion Nursing Society standards and relevant guidelines, ensuring high-quality performance in various healthcare settings. It is classified as an intravascular catheter with regulatory clearances, including 510(k) clearance.

Intended Use

Designed for short-term peripheral IV access, the BD Nexiva™ system is suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, including general IV therapy and contrast-enhanced CT procedures. Its ergonomic design allows for ease of use, while the closed system effectively contains blood, reducing exposure risks.

Storage Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, store the device in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture. All components are latex-free, aligning with safety standards for medical devices.
