SmartSite® Needle-Free System Instructions
SmartSite® Needle-Free Valve is designed to permit safe gravity flow and automated flow, injection and aspiration of fluids without the
use of needles by utilising Luer lock and luer slip connectors.
Precautions:
A
Discard if packaging is not intact or protector caps are unattached.
If Needle-Free Valve is accessed by a needle in an emergency the valve will be damaged causing leakage. Replace
Needle-Free Valve immediately.
Needle-Free Valve contraindicated for blunt cannula system.
DO NOT leave slip luer syringes unattended.
DIRECTIONS - Use Aseptic Technique
1. Prior to every access, swab top of Needle-Free Valve port with 70% Isopropyl alcohol (1-2 seconds) and allow to dry (approximately
30 seconds).
NOTE: Dry time is dependent on temperature, humidity, ventilation of the area.
2. Prime valve port. If applicable, attach syringe to Needle-Free Valve port and aspirate minuscule air bubbles.
3. When used with administration sets always refer to individual set directions for use as change interval may vary according to clinical
application (e.g. infusions of blood, blood products, and lipid emulsions).
NOTE: During use of Needle-Free Valve port, fluid may be observed between the housing and blue piston. This fluid does not enter
the fluid path and requires no action.
NOTE: For product questions or needle-free valve educational materials, contact your CareFusion representative. Consult facility
protocols. Consult other organizations that publish guidelines useful in developing facility protocols.
