The BD 306551 - BD PosiFlush Pre-Filled Saline Syringe is a sterile, single-use syringe preloaded with 0.9% sodium chloride (saline) solution designed for flushing vascular access devices such as IV lines, catheters, and ports. Each syringe contains 10 mL of sterile saline and comes in a pack of four (4x), offering a ready-to-use solution for maintaining catheter patency and minimizing the risk of occlusions or infection. Manufactured by Becton Dickinson (BD), this syringe is engineered for precision, safety, and efficiency in both hospital and outpatient settings.
The BD PosiFlush system eliminates the need for syringe preparation, reducing medication errors and contamination risks. Its fully sterile, pre-filled design streamlines workflow, saves time for clinicians, and ensures consistent saline delivery for effective line maintenance.
Key Benefits
The BD 306551 PosiFlush Syringe provides multiple advantages for healthcare professionals and patients:
- Ready-to-use convenience: Eliminates the need for manual saline preparation, saving time and improving efficiency.
- Sterile, single-use design: Reduces the risk of contamination and infection during vascular access maintenance.
- 10 mL syringe format: Ensures accurate flushing pressure and compatibility with standard IV catheters and central lines.
- Proprietary BD PosiFlush technology: Minimizes blood reflux and maintains catheter patency effectively.
- Clear barrel with bold graduations: Provides visibility and precise volume control during flushing procedures.
Each syringe is terminally sterilized and designed for optimal performance in vascular access management protocols.
Compatibility and Applications
The BD PosiFlush 10 mL syringe is compatible with all vascular access devices, including:
- Peripheral and central venous catheters (CVCs).
- PICC lines (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters).
- Implantable ports and hemodialysis catheters.
- Arterial lines and infusion systems.
It is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, emergency care, and home infusion therapy. The syringe can be used before and after medication administration or blood sampling to maintain line patency and ensure effective fluid flow.
Usage Guidelines
Inspect the syringe packaging for integrity before use. If the package is damaged or the product appears contaminated, discard it immediately. To use, remove the syringe from its sterile package, detach the tip cap, and connect the Luer-lock end to the catheter hub. Gently flush with 10 mL of saline using a push-pause technique to minimize clot formation. Do not reuse or re-sterilize the syringe. Dispose of after single use according to institutional biohazard waste guidelines.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD 306551 PosiFlush Saline Syringe is FDA-cleared and CE-marked for medical use. It is manufactured under ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management systems and conforms to USP standards for sterile, non-pyrogenic sodium chloride solutions. The product is latex-free, DEHP-free, and complies with OSHA and CDC guidelines for infection prevention. Each batch is validated for sterility, fill accuracy, and pressure integrity to ensure consistent safety and reliability in patient care.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to manually prepared flush syringes or other generic pre-filled options, the BD PosiFlush system offers superior quality control, safety, and ease of use. While traditional flush preparation requires drawing saline into a sterile syringe, BD PosiFlush syringes eliminate the risk of contamination, air bubbles, and inconsistent saline concentration. The ergonomic barrel and plunger design ensure smooth delivery, while the pre-filled format reduces waste and simplifies workflow. BDs trusted global reputation and proven product consistency make it a preferred choice in vascular access management.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is used by nurses, clinicians, and infusion specialists in diverse care environments. Typical application scenarios include:
- Flushing IV catheters before and after medication administration.
- Maintaining catheter patency between infusions.
- Preventing occlusions in central and peripheral lines.
- Routine line maintenance in acute care, outpatient, or home infusion settings.
The BD PosiFlush syringe supports both adult and pediatric patient care and is an essential part of standard vascular access protocols.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store syringes at controlled room temperature (1530C) and protect from freezing. Use only within the expiration date printed on the package. Do not attempt to refill or reuse. For optimal performance, use the push-pause flushing method to create turbulence inside the catheter, helping prevent fibrin buildup. Always follow institutional protocols for aseptic handling and catheter care. Dispose of used syringes in approved sharps containers immediately after use.
