BD 20051E - SmartSite Smallbore Extension Set with T-Connector, Slide Clamp, 6 Inch, 0.2 mL Fluid Path, 100/CS (Continental US Only)

BD 20051E - SmartSite Smallbore Extension Set with T-Connector, Slide Clamp, 6 Inch, 0.2 mL Fluid Path, 100/CS (Continental US Only)

The BD 20051E SmartSite Extension Set is a sterile smallbore IV extension set designed for short-distance IV line extension, needle-free access, and controlled fluid pathway management in professional healthcare settings. It features a SmartSite T-connector, slide clamp, male luer slip adapter, 6 inch approximate length, and 0.2 mL approximate priming volume.

This compact extension set is useful when clinicians need a low-volume IV access component that adds flexibility without adding unnecessary tubing length. The SmartSite T-connector supports compatible direct injection, intermittent infusion, and continuous infusion workflows, while the slide clamp allows simple manual flow control during priming, setup, connection, and disconnection. BD identifies the 20051E as a smallbore short extension set with SmartSite T-connector, slide clamp, male luer slip adapter, 15 cm or 6 inch length, 0.2 mL priming volume, and sterile fluid path. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Key Benefits

• Smallbore tubing supports low-volume IV extension for controlled fluid pathway management.
• 0.2 mL priming volume helps minimize residual volume and supports efficient setup.
• 6 inch length provides short, practical extension without excess tubing near the patient access site.
• SmartSite T-connector supports needle-free access for compatible IV therapy workflows.
• Slide clamp allows quick flow control during priming, connection, disconnection, and line handling.
• Male luer slip adapter supports connection with compatible IV access and administration components.
• Sterile fluid path supports safe clinical use when handled according to aseptic technique.
• Not made with DEHP, supporting facilities that prefer DEHP-free IV extension components.
• Not made with natural latex, supporting use in latex-sensitive care environments. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 20051E is designed for use with compatible IV access devices, administration sets, syringes, infusion components, and luer-compatible systems where a male luer slip adapter and SmartSite T-connector configuration are appropriate. Its smallbore, short-extension format makes it useful for workflows where clinicians need controlled access with minimal fluid path volume.

This extension set 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, catheter access support, medication administration, direct injection, intermittent infusion, continuous infusion access, flushing, and bedside IV line organization.

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 configuration, 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 20051E as a fluid path sterile SmartSite extension set with smallbore tubing, slide clamp, male luer slip adapter, SmartSite T-connector type, no filter, no manifold, no backcheck valves, no Y-sites, no stopcock, and 0.2 mL approximate priming volume. BD also lists the product as not made with natural latex, registered with Health Canada, not CE marked, and manufactured in Mexico. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The official BD product specification lists GTIN each 07613203012331, GTIN case 37613203012349, GTIN shelfpack 27613203021696, and a case quantity of 100. These details support accurate product identification, purchasing verification, inventory control, and regulatory documentation review before procurement. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Comparison with Competitor Products

The BD 20051E is best compared with other 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 basic smallbore extension tubing without a needle-free access point, the BD 20051E provides an integrated SmartSite T-connector for compatible access workflows.

Compared with longer extension sets, the 6 inch configuration helps reduce tubing clutter near the access site. Compared with higher-volume extension sets, the 0.2 mL fluid path supports low-volume priming and efficient medication pathway management. Compared with filtered extension sets, this product has no integrated filter, making it suitable when filtration is not required by medication labeling or facility protocol.

Compared with BD 20041E, which is a pressure-rated SmartSite T-connector extension set with a spin male luer lock and 0.23 mL fluid path, the BD 20051E uses a male luer slip adapter and has a 0.2 mL fluid path. Compared with BD 20039E, which includes a SmartSite needle-free connector and spin male luer lock, the BD 20051E is configured around a SmartSite T-connector and male luer slip adapter for workflows where that connection style is preferred.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 20051E 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 product is especially useful in workflows requiring a short smallbore extension set, low priming volume, SmartSite needle-free T-connector access, manual flow control, and a male luer slip adapter connection. Common use cases include medication administration, IV fluid delivery, catheter connection support, line priming, flushing, direct injection, intermittent infusion, continuous infusion access, and bedside 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 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 movement, tension, or dislodgement risk.
• Replace the extension set according to institutional protocol, manufacturer instructions, medication requirements, and patient-specific clinical needs.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 20051E is intended for professional healthcare use by trained personnel. It should be used only according to manufacturer instructions, medication labeling, accepted infusion therapy standards, and institutional protocols. As a sterile fluid path device, improper handling or use with incompatible systems may increase the risk of contamination, leakage, misconnections, device damage, or compromised patient safety.

Do not use the product if the package is damaged, if the tubing or connector appears compromised, if the product is expired, or if the configuration does not match the intended clinical application. Reuse or resterilization may increase the risk of contamination, infection, leakage, device failure, or compromised patient safety.
