Peripheral IV catheter (shielded / safety IV catheter)
Description
The BD Insyte Autoguard Shielded IV Catheter is a sterile, single-use peripheral intravenous catheter with integrated safety-shielded needle and BD Vialon™ catheter material, designed to improve vascular access while reducing risk of needlestick injuries. The built-in push-button shielding mechanism instantly encapsulates the needle after insertion. The catheter includes BD Instaflash™ notched-needle technology to provide immediate blood flashback for confirmation of vessel entry, and uses a soft Vialon™ catheter that softens in the vein for improved patient comfort and longer dwell times. Supplied as a box of 50 sterile units, this catheter is suitable for fluid/medication administration, blood sampling, and other IV therapy uses in clinical settings.
Bnefits
- Push-button needle-shielding technology significantly reduces risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
- BD Instaflash™ notched-needle allows immediate blood flashback for quick vessel access confirmation and may improve first-stick success.
- BD Vialon™ catheter material softens in the vein, enabling longer dwell times and reducing risk of mechanical phlebitis.
- Transparent hub and radiopaque catheter allow easy visualisation of blood return and placement under imaging.
- Sterile, single-use design reduces contamination risk and supports standard IV practices for fluid, medication administration and blood sampling.
- Available in standard gauge/size (22G x 1") and packaged as a 50-unit box — convenient for clinical settings.
Indications
- Peripheral venous access for infusion of fluids and medications (including IV therapy).
- Blood sampling and transfusion via peripheral venous catheter.
- Use in inpatient, outpatient, emergency, ambulatory care and general clinical settings requiring safe IV access.

Usage
- Open the sterile package aseptically just before use.
- Perform standard venipuncture technique to insert the catheter into a peripheral vein.
- Observe blood flashback via Instaflash™ needle to confirm correct vessel entry before advancing catheter.
- Advance catheter, then press the push-button to activate needle shielding, retracting the needle safely into the hub.
- Connect IV administration set or extension set to catheter hub as per standard protocols.
- After single use in a patient, remove and dispose catheter (including needle shield) in sharps waste in accordance with local regulations.
- Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Contraindications
- Do not use if sterile package is damaged, opened or expired.
- Do not reuse or reprocess the catheter or needle – strictly single-use.
- Not suitable if patient has contraindication to peripheral IV catheterisation (e.g. local infection, damaged veins, severe coagulopathy, or contraindicated limb).
- Avoid use if needle shielding mechanism fails or appears defective.
Adverse Effects
- Possible local pain, bruising or discomfort at insertion site.
- Risk of phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation or thrombophlebitis depending on catheter dwell time, vein condition, and infusion protocol.
- Potential for allergic reaction if patient is sensitive to catheter materials (rare).
- Risk of needlestick injury if safety shield mechanism malfunctions or user fails to activate retraction.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep inside original sterile packaging until use.
- Do not store in humid or contaminated environments to avoid compromise of sterile barrier.
