Peripheral venous cannula / IV catheter, 24G, without safety, without port

Description

BD Angiocath™ Peripheral Venous Cannula (SKU 381112) is a sterile, single-use, 24G peripheral IV catheter (0.7 mm x 19 mm) made from radiopaque FEP polymer with a stainless steel introducer needle, thin-wall tapered tip and yellow hub, designed to provide short-term peripheral venous access for infusion, transfusion, and administration of intravenous medications.

Bnefits

Provides reliable short-term peripheral venous access for IV therapies.
Thin-wall design and tapered catheter tip support smooth insertion and optimal flow.
Radiopaque FEP catheter allows visualization under X-ray.
Transparent flashback chamber assists with immediate confirmation of vessel entry.
Luer-Lok™ compatible hub facilitates secure connection to IV lines and accessories.
DEHP-free and latex-free construction reduces risk of associated sensitivities.
Sterile, single-use device helps minimize risk of cross-contamination.
24G, 0.75 in catheter length is suitable for small or fragile peripheral veins.

Indications

Short-term peripheral intravenous cannulation in a peripheral vein.
Administration of intravenous fluids and medications as prescribed.
Intravenous transfusion of blood or blood products when clinically appropriate.
Intermittent or continuous infusion therapy via peripheral venous access, according to institutional protocols.

Usage

For use only by trained healthcare professionals familiar with peripheral intravenous cannulation and local clinical protocols.
Verify integrity of sterile packaging and check product information (gauge, length, expiry date) before use; do not use if package is damaged or expired.
Select an appropriate peripheral vein and insertion site based on clinical assessment and institutional guidelines.
Prepare and disinfect the skin using an appropriate antiseptic solution, allowing it to dry as recommended.
Insert the needle-catheter assembly into the vein according to standard peripheral IV techniques until blood flashback is observed in the flash chamber, then advance the catheter into the vein while withdrawing the needle.
Connect the catheter hub to the prescribed IV line or device using a compatible Luer-Lok™ or luer slip connector, flush and secure according to local policy.
Stabilize the catheter with an appropriate securement device and apply a sterile dressing as per institutional protocols.
Monitor the insertion site regularly for signs of infiltration, phlebitis, infection or other complications, and remove the catheter if clinically indicated or when therapy is completed, following local guidelines.
Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for use (IFU) and institutional policies for complete, product-specific directions, warnings, and precautions.

Contraindications

Do not use in patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity or allergy to FEP polymer, stainless steel, or any component materials of the device.
Do not insert into areas of active infection, inflammation, burn, or compromised skin integrity at the intended insertion site.
Avoid use in limbs with significantly impaired circulation, lymphatic obstruction, arteriovenous shunts, or where venous access is otherwise contraindicated.
Do not reuse or resterilize; single-use only.
Follow all contraindications, warnings, and precautions listed in the manufacturer’s instructions for use and local clinical guidelines.

Adverse Effects

Local pain or discomfort at the insertion site.
Infiltration or extravasation of infused fluids into surrounding tissue.
Phlebitis or thrombophlebitis at or near the insertion site.
Local hematoma or bruising due to venipuncture.
Catheter occlusion or malfunction (e.g., reduced or absent flow).
Infection at the insertion site or systemic infection/sepsis if aseptic technique is not maintained.
Air embolism, embolization or catheter-related bloodstream complications in rare cases if used or managed improperly.
Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to device materials in susceptible individuals.

Storage Conditions

Store in original, unopened packaging until use.
Keep in a clean, dry environment away from moisture, dirt, and direct sunlight.
Avoid extreme temperatures; store within the temperature range specified on the product packaging or IFU.
Protect from mechanical damage, crushing, or bending of packaging.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Duration

Short-term peripheral IV access only; dwell time and total duration of use should follow institutional policies, clinical judgment, and applicable guidelines for peripheral cannulas.

Onset

Provides immediate peripheral venous access upon successful placement and connection to an IV system; onset of clinical effect depends on the infused medication or fluid.
