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.

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
