Using the SmartSite® needle-free valve
1. Prepare Valve
- Prior to every access, always swab the top of the SmartSite® needle-free
valve port with a sterile 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe (1-2 seconds)
and allow to dry (approximately 30 seconds). Use of proper
aseptic technique helps to reduce the possibility of contamination.
- For multiple syringes, swab prior to each syringe access.
2. Attach Syringe
- Insert the syringe tip into the SmartSite® needle-free valve.
- If syringe has a luer-lock collar, turn syringe clockwise to secure
the
connection.
- If syringe has a slip luer, insert and rotate 1/4 turn
to secure the connection. Inject or aspirate fluid. Do not
leave slip luer syringes unattended.
Important: Do not use needles or blunt cannulas to
access the SmartSite® needle-free valve. |
