Intended Use
ACUVANCE PLUS Safety IV Catheter: A properly placed I.V. catheter provides access to a vein or artery. The I.V. Catheter System is designed for single use and has a needlestick protection feature. The risk of accidental needlesticks is reduced by a selfblunting needle system activated automatically as the catheter is threaded into the vessel. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 14 to 22 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 psi. PROTECTIV PLUS Safety IV Catheter: The PROTECTIV PLUS I.V. Catheter is designed for single use. A properly placed I.V. catheter provides access to a vein or artery. The PROTECTIV PLUS Safety I.V. Catheter is designed to minimize inadvertent needlesticks. During catheter insertion, a needle guard can be locked over the introducer needle. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 16G to 24G catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 psi. OPTIVA IV Catheter: The OPTIVA I.V. Catheter is designed for single use. A properly placed I.V. catheter provides access to a vein or artery. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 16G to 24G catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 psi.
Device Story
Single-use intravascular catheters provide venous or arterial access. ACUVANCE PLUS features automatic self-blunting needle mechanism; PROTECTIV PLUS features manual locking needle guard; OPTIVA is standard catheter. Devices used by clinicians for fluid/medication infusion. Modified catheter tube material formulation compared to predicates. Bench testing and biocompatibility data confirm equivalence.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Biocompatibility and bench testing demonstrate equivalence of the modified catheter tube material to the predicate material.
Technological Characteristics
Intravascular catheters; modified polymer tube material formulation. Features include self-blunting needle (ACUVANCE) or locking needle guard (PROTECTIV). Compatible with power injectors up to 300 psi (specific gauges). Single-use, sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for any patient population requiring venous or arterial access, considering patient size, infusion requirements, and therapy duration. Specific models include needlestick protection features (self-blunting or needle guard). Compatible with power injectors up to 300 psi for specific gauge ranges.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.
