SafeBreak Vascular is a Force-Activated Separation Device. It is intended to separate when excessive tension is exerted across a peripheral IV administration set. When SafeBreak Vascular separates, fluid flow is stopped from the infusion pump and blood flow is stopped from the patient’s IV catheter.SafeBreak Vascular is intended to aid in reduction of peripheral IV mechanical complications requiring IV replacement.SafeBreak Vascular is intended to be used on peripheral IV catheters in adults and adolescent populations eighteen (18) years of age and older receiving intermittent or continuous infusions with an electronic pump.
A small, non-powered, noninvasive, linear Luer connector intended to connect an intravenous (IV) line to a peripheral catheter/cannula during IV administration, and to facilitate safe disconnection if excessive tension is placed on the IV line (e.g., unintentional tugging or pulling). The safe disconnection feature, which is sometimes referred to as a force activated separation mechanism and designed to reduce patient injury, includes valves to prevent blood loss, contamination, and IV fluid leakage. This is a single-use device.
