BD 2672015 - PowerLoc PAK Safety Infusion Set with Y-Injection Site, 20G x 1.5", 5/CS (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returnable) (Continental US Only)

The BD 2672015 PowerLoc PAK Safety Infusion Set is a sterile, single-use port-access solution designed for accessing compatible surgically implanted vascular ports. The set features a 20-gauge non-coring needle with a 1.5-inch length and includes a Y-injection site for secondary access to the infusion pathway.

The PowerLoc system provides a fluid pathway for administering compatible medications and solutions, withdrawing blood specimens, flushing implanted ports, and delivering contrast media through appropriately rated power-injectable ports. The 20-gauge configuration provides a practical balance between needle diameter and flow capability for a wide range of infusion therapy and diagnostic imaging applications.

The 1.5-inch needle length is designed for implanted ports positioned beneath a greater depth of subcutaneous tissue. Proper needle-length selection helps ensure secure access to the port septum while supporting stable positioning, effective dressing application, and appropriate access-site management.

The integrated Y-injection site provides a secondary access point within the fluid pathway for compatible medication administration, flushing, or other approved connections. The corresponding 20-gauge x 1.5-inch Y-site configuration has an approximate priming volume of 0.4 mL.

An integrated safety mechanism is designed to help reduce accidental needlestick exposure during port deaccessing. After the needle is removed from the implanted port, the safety design helps shield and secure the sharp needle before handling and disposal.

The PAK configuration provides an organized, all-in-one solution intended to simplify the multi-step sterile port-access preparation process. BD 2672015 is supplied five sets per case.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 2672015 PowerLoc PAK Safety Infusion Set is intended for use with compatible surgically implanted vascular access ports designed to accept non-coring port-access needles.

Potential clinical applications include chemotherapy administration, antibiotic therapy, hydration, parenteral nutrition, blood product administration, long-term infusion therapy, blood specimen collection, implanted port flushing, and contrast-media delivery during compatible diagnostic imaging procedures.

The 20-gauge needle may be selected when the prescribed therapy requires moderate-to-high flow capability while maintaining a smaller diameter than a 19-gauge access needle. Selection should consider medication or solution viscosity, required flow rate, implanted port specifications, infusion-pump requirements, power-injection needs, and professional clinical judgment.

The 1.5-inch needle length is intended for deeper implanted ports or patients with greater tissue depth over the port septum. A needle that is too short may not completely access the septum, while an unnecessarily long needle may affect stability, securement, and dressing placement.

The Y-injection site provides an additional access point within the tubing. It may support compatible intermittent medication administration, flushing, or connection of another approved fluid pathway when permitted by the prescribed therapy and institutional protocol.

When used for power injection, the implanted port, access needle, tubing, connectors, Y-injection site, extension components, and every other device within the fluid pathway must be appropriately rated for the intended procedure. The lowest-rated component determines the maximum allowable operating pressure and flow rate.

Compatibility should be confirmed with the exact implanted port model, septum design, port depth, prescribed therapy, infusion pump, power injector, connector system, dressing materials, and institutional vascular-access procedures.

Usage Guidelines

The BD 2672015 should be used only by healthcare professionals trained and authorized to access implanted vascular ports. Current manufacturer instructions, aseptic technique, institutional procedures, and the implanted port manufacturer's directions should be followed throughout the procedure.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 2672015 PowerLoc PAK Safety Infusion Set is intended for professional medical use within established vascular-access, infusion-therapy, diagnostic imaging, infection-prevention, and occupational safety programs.

The device should be incorporated into facility procedures covering implanted port assessment, sterile preparation, skin antisepsis, port access, infusion administration, connection management, dressing care, power injection, deaccessing, and sharps disposal.

The integrated safety mechanism is designed to help protect the needle following removal from the implanted port. This safety feature supports occupational needlestick-prevention practices but does not replace appropriate clinician training, personal protective equipment, safe sharps handling, exposure-control procedures, or immediate disposal in an approved sharps container.

The non-coring needle is designed to access the septum of a compatible implanted vascular port while helping minimize unnecessary septum damage when used correctly. Needle gauge and length should be selected according to patient anatomy, implanted port depth, prescribed therapy, required flow rate, and current manufacturer instructions.

Healthcare organizations should review current manufacturer documentation for applicable FDA clearance, UDI information, sterilization method, shelf life, material composition, natural rubber latex status, DEHP information, maximum pressure, flow-rate specifications, and other technical or regulatory requirements.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with conventional implanted port needles without integrated safety features, the BD PowerLoc system incorporates a protective mechanism designed to shield the needle after deaccessing. This can help reduce accidental needlestick exposure between needle removal and final sharps disposal.

Compared with infusion sets without a Y-injection site, BD 2672015 provides a secondary access point within the tubing. This may support compatible intermittent medication administration or additional fluid connections without disconnecting the primary infusion pathway.

Compared with non-power-injectable port-access sets, the PowerLoc platform supports compatible power-injection procedures when used with an approved power-injectable implanted port and within all specified pressure and flow limits.

Compared with a 19-gauge PowerLoc configuration, the 20-gauge needle provides a smaller external diameter while retaining substantial flow capability for many infusion and imaging procedures. Compared with a 22-gauge configuration, the 20-gauge needle supports higher maximum power-injection flow capability.

Compared with 0.75-inch and 1-inch access needles, the 1.5-inch configuration accommodates implanted ports positioned beneath greater tissue depth. Correct needle-length selection is essential because insufficient length may prevent complete septum access, while excessive length may affect device stability.

Compared with loose individual port-access supplies, the PAK presentation organizes essential procedural components into one package. This can help simplify sterile preparation and support consistency across clinicians and treatment environments.

Alternative safety infusion sets may vary in gauge, needle length, safety mechanism, power-injection capability, Y-site design, priming volume, included kit components, and packaging quantity. BD 2672015 combines a 20-gauge, 1.5-inch non-coring needle with a Y-injection site, integrated safety technology, power-injection capability, and organized PAK presentation.
