BD 20041E - SmartSite Pressure Rated Smallbore Extension Set with T-Connector, Slide Clamp, 6 Inch, 0.23 mL Fluid Path, 100/CS (Continental US Only)

The BD 20041E SmartSite Extension Set is a sterile, pressure rated smallbore IV extension set designed for secure needle-free access, controlled fluid pathway management, and short-distance IV line extension in professional healthcare environments. It features a SmartSite T-connector, slide clamp, spin male luer lock, 6 inch approximate length, and 0.23 mL approximate priming volume. BD lists this product as a short extension set with smallbore tubing, SmartSite T-connector type, spin male luer lock, slide clamp, and fluid path sterile configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

This extension set supports clinicians who need a compact, low-volume extension component for IV therapy, medication administration, catheter access support, flushing, and line organization. The SmartSite platform is designed to support direct injection, intermittent infusion, and continuous infusion when used with compatible systems.

Key Benefits

• Pressure rated design supports compatible infusion applications where pressure tolerance is required.
• Smallbore tubing helps reduce fluid path volume compared with larger-bore extension options.
• 0.23 mL fluid path supports efficient priming and helps limit unnecessary residual volume.
• Compact 6 inch length helps reduce tubing clutter around the patient access site.
• SmartSite T-connector provides integrated needle-free access in a short extension set format.
• Slide clamp allows simple manual flow control during setup, priming, connection, and disconnection.
• Spin male luer lock supports a secure connection with compatible IV access devices and administration components.
• Sterile fluid path supports safe clinical use when handled according to aseptic technique. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Not made with DEHP, supporting facilities that prefer DEHP-free IV extension components. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 20041E is designed for use with compatible luer lock IV systems, catheter access devices, syringes, administration sets, and infusion components that accept a spin male luer lock connection. Its SmartSite T-connector makes it useful for facilities that standardize around BD SmartSite needle-free access components.

This product is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient infusion centers, emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, oncology clinics, specialty care units, and general patient care areas. Typical applications include IV line extension, medication administration, fluid delivery, catheter access support, intermittent infusion, direct injection, flushing, and short-line organization near the patient access site.

Usage Guidelines

• Inspect the package before use and do not use the product if the sterile barrier is damaged, opened, or compromised.
• Confirm the product reference number, tubing size, clamp style, connector type, length, and priming volume before clinical use.
• Use aseptic technique when opening, priming, connecting, accessing, or disconnecting the extension set.
• Prime the fluid path completely before patient connection to help remove air from the line.
• Use the slide clamp to control flow during setup, priming, connection, disconnection, and line handling.
• Disinfect the SmartSite access surface according to institutional policy before each access.
• Verify compatibility with the catheter, administration set, syringe, medication, fluid, infusion method, and facility protocol before use.
• Trace all IV lines before administration to help reduce the risk of misconnections.
• Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize the extension set.
• Dispose of the product after use according to facility medical waste procedures.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD lists the 20041E as fluid path sterile, not made with natural latex, registered with Health Canada, not CE marked, and manufactured in Mexico. BD also lists the product with GTIN case 37613203011922, GTIN each 07613203011914, GTIN shelfpack 27613203021665, and a case quantity of 100. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

BDs product specification identifies the 20041E as a 15 cm or 6 inch smallbore extension set with 0.23 mL approximate priming volume, slide clamp, spin male luer lock, no filter, no manifold, no stopcock, no Y-site, and SmartSite T-connector type. These details help procurement teams confirm product identity, clinical configuration, packaging, and facility compatibility before purchase. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Comparison with Competitor Products

The BD 20041E is best compared with other pressure rated smallbore IV extension sets and needle-free T-connector extension sets from manufacturers such as B Braun, ICU Medical, Baxter, and other infusion therapy suppliers. Compared with standard non-pressure-rated extension sets, the BD 20041E provides pressure rated construction for compatible applications where higher pressure tolerance is required.

Compared with longer extension sets, the 6 inch format helps reduce line bulk around the catheter site while still providing short-distance access extension. Compared with larger-volume extension sets, the 0.23 mL fluid path supports low-volume priming and efficient medication pathway management. Compared with extension sets that require a separate needle-free connector, the integrated SmartSite T-connector helps streamline setup and reduce the number of separate components needed.

Compared with BD 10373772, which is a simple smallbore extension set without a SmartSite T-connector, the BD 20041E provides integrated needle-free T-connector access. Compared with BD 20039E, which includes a SmartSite needle-free connector, the BD 20041E is specifically configured with a SmartSite T-connector for workflows where T-connector access is preferred. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 20041E include registered nurses, infusion nurses, vascular access specialists, emergency department clinicians, anesthesia teams, oncology nurses, outpatient infusion staff, and other trained healthcare professionals responsible for IV therapy and catheter access management.

This extension set is especially useful in workflows requiring short line extension, low priming volume, needle-free access, secure luer connection, and manual flow control. Common use cases include medication administration, IV fluid delivery, catheter connection support, line priming, flushing, intermittent infusion, direct injection, and bedside IV line organization.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Store the product in a clean, dry medical supply area according to facility storage requirements.
• Keep the extension set in its original packaging until ready for use.
• Check the expiration date, packaging integrity, product reference number, length, clamp type, and connector configuration before opening.
• Use only with compatible luer lock devices, IV access systems, syringes, medications, and fluids.
• Prime carefully and confirm that air has been removed before connecting to the patient-side IV system.
• Disinfect the SmartSite access surface before each use according to institutional protocol.
• Avoid excessive pulling, twisting, kinking, or bending that may compromise tubing or connector integrity.
• Secure the short extension set to reduce accidental tension, movement, or dislodgement risk.
• Replace the extension set according to institutional protocol, manufacturer instructions, medication requirements, and patient-specific clinical needs.
