## Indications for Use

The B.E.C. Safe Mate I.V. Extension Sets are intended to provide additional protection against inadvertent "needlestick" injuries to health care providers during the intravascular administration of fluids and medications. The I.V. Extension Sets provide for the entry to an intravascular administration set system without the need of a sharp needle by allowing for the penetration of a split septum injection sites or split septum Y-sites using an 11 gauge blunt plastic cannula.

## Device Story

Device consists of PVC tubing set with male luer (slip, fixed, or rotating lock) at one end for catheter/needle connection and female luer/split septum needleless injection site at distal end. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to facilitate fluid/medication administration. Eliminates need for sharp needles by utilizing split septum sites compatible with 11-gauge blunt plastic cannulas. Includes options for standard or minibore tubing, J-loop configurations, Y-sites, and various clamps. Enhances provider safety by mitigating needlestick injury risks during IV therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Biocompatibility testing confirms compliance with USP Class VI and Tripartite guidelines.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Medical grade PVC tubing and components. Biocompatibility: Meets USP Class VI and Tripartite guidelines. Configuration: 4" to 36"+ lengths, standard (0.115" ID) or minibore (0.040" ID) tubing, J-loop, Y-sites, slide/clip/roller clamps. Connectivity: Male/female luer interfaces. Sterilization: Validated ethylene oxide process.

## Regulatory Identification

An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Extension Sets consist of a PVC tubing set which has a male luer (slip, fixed luer-lock, or rotating luer-lock) connector at one end intended to connect to an I.V. catheter or needle. At the distal end (or ends in the case of the bifurcated extension set or T-Connector extension set) is a female luer and/or split septum Needleless Injection Site for connection to an I.V. administration set. Extension set lengths may vary from 4" up to 36" or longer. The PVC tubing may be of standard bore (approximately 0.115" I.D.) or Minibore (approximately 0.040" I.D.) design and may be configured into a J-loop to facilitate tape fixation. Extension sets may also have one or more split septum Y-sites for the infusion of other liquid medications. Clamps (slide, clip, or roller) may also be included.  |
