Prefilled normal saline I.V. flush syringe
Description
Omniflush 10ml is a sterile, prefilled 10 ml syringe containing 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) for flushing compatible intravenous tubing and indwelling vascular access devices. The system provides a sterile solution and fluid path (QC002, SAL 10-6) in a single-use syringe, each unit supplied in a tubular bag and boxed in quantities of 100 syringes, to support safe, standardised and efficient catheter maintenance.
Helps maintain patency of intravenous catheters and other vascular access devices by supporting recommended flushing practice.
Anti-reflux syringe design specifically reduces unintended blood reflux into the catheter lumen, decreasing the risk of catheter blockage.
Larger internal barrel diameter provides lower flushing pressure than standard 3 ml or 5 ml syringes, helping to reduce catheter rupture risk.
Low plunger gliding force makes it easier for the user to detect increasing resistance and early catheter occlusion.
High-clarity polypropylene syringe barrel improves visual inspection of the saline solution and detection of particles or discoloration.
Single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic flush system with sterile solution and fluid path, supporting infection prevention.
Not manufactured with PVC, DEHP or natural rubber latex, reducing associated material-related risks.
Automatic, clearly structured labelling and data-matrix barcode help differentiate the device as a flush syringe and support medication safety.
Use of prefilled syringes, as shown in time-and-motion studies, can save staff time per flushing episode and improve process efficiency.
Indications
Flushing of compatible intravenous tubing systems and/or indwelling vascular access devices (e.g. peripheral and central venous catheters).
Use as a sterile isotonic solution for flushing I.V. access devices before, between and after administration of I.V. medications or solutions, in line with institutional protocols.
Flushing I.V. catheters after blood sampling or infusions to clear residual blood or drug solution and help prevent occlusion.
Use as part of routine vascular access maintenance procedures to maintain catheter function and reduce the risk of catheter occlusion or thrombus formation.
Sterile, preservative-free, non-pyrogenic, isotonic aqueous solution of sodium chloride.
Approximate osmolar concentration of 0.31 mOsm/mL.
Solution pH typically in the range of about 4.5 to 7.0.
Formulation
Sterile, preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) solution for intravenous flush use only.
Isotonic aqueous solution supplied prefilled in a 10 ml polypropylene syringe with luer connection.
Single-use, non-pyrogenic flush syringe with sterile solution and sterile fluid path (QC002, SAL 10-6).
Available as part of the Omniflush prefilled flush syringe range in 3 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml filling volumes; this presentation is the 10 ml fill in a 10 ml syringe.
Packaging
Each Omniflush 10 ml syringe is supplied as a single sterile unit in a tubular bag to maintain sterility of solution and fluid path until use.
Commercial presentation: box of 100 x 10 ml prefilled flush syringes (order reference EM-3513576).
Label and packaging include multilingual instructions and product identification, including data-matrix barcode and GTIN.
Omniflush and Omniflush Sterile Field are marketed as CE-certified medical devices according to EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC.
Usage
Use proper aseptic technique throughout handling and administration.
Inspect the outer packaging; do not use if the wrapping or tubular bag is damaged or previously opened.
Remove the syringe from its packaging immediately before use.
Visually inspect the solution; do not use if the solution is cloudy, discoloured, hazy, contains visible particles, or if the syringe is damaged or leaking.
With the tip cap still on, gently depress the plunger to release the stopper seal as directed in the instructions for use.
Remove the tip cap, keeping the luer tip sterile. Hold the syringe upright and expel any air bubble if present, avoiding unnecessary loss of solution.
Attach a compatible needle-free device or other recommended connector to the luer tip, following the access device manufacturer’s instructions.
Flush the intravenous tubing and/or indwelling access device with the required volume of saline in accordance with local policies and procedures.
Apply a slow, controlled administration rate; a slower flush rate can minimise unpleasant taste sensations reported by some patients.
Discard the syringe immediately after use; the device is for single use only and any unused portion must be discarded. Do not reuse or resterilise.
Contraindications
Use is contraindicated in patients with hypernatremia or significant fluid retention where administration of sodium or chloride could be clinically detrimental.
Do not use if the solution is discoloured, cloudy, hazy or contains visible particulate matter.
Do not use if the syringe or its packaging is damaged, or if sterility is in doubt.
Not intended for use as an infusion solution or for replacement of large fluid volumes.
Not indicated for intrathecal administration or routes of administration other than flushing compatible I.V. tubing and indwelling access devices.
Adverse Effects
No specific adverse reactions are known from use in the small quantities employed for flushing, when used as directed.
As with other I.V. procedures, inappropriate technique may be associated with local complications such as irritation, discomfort or extravasation at the access site.
Incorrect use or excessive flushing volume may contribute to fluid or sodium overload in susceptible patients.
Storage Conditions
Not publicly listed
Duration
Not applicable; Omniflush 10ml is a single-use I.V. flush syringe used as needed according to clinical flushing and locking protocols.
Onset
Immediate flushing effect upon administration through the intravenous access device.
