BD 306413 - Heparin Lock Flush Syringe, 10 Units/mL, 3mL Fill in 10mL Syringe, 30/BX, 16 BX/CS

BD 306413 - Heparin Lock Flush Syringe, 10 Units/mL, 3mL Fill in 10mL Syringe, 30/BX, 16 BX/CS

The BD 306413 Heparin Lock Flush Syringe is a sterile, pre-filled syringe containing heparin 10 units/mL with a total fill volume of 3 mL presented in a 10 mL syringe body. This design ensures low-pressure flushing for maintaining patency of peripheral IV lines, central venous catheters, and implanted ports. The larger syringe barrel minimizes pressure during flushing, reducing the risk of catheter damage while supporting safe, consistent vascular access maintenance.

Key Benefits

The pre-filled heparin syringe eliminates the need for manual preparation, lowering contamination risk and ensuring accurate dosing. The wider 10 mL syringe barrel delivers a controlled, low-pressure flush required for delicate or long-term catheters. BDs smooth plunger action and clear graduations enable precise flush administration, while the sterile, single-use presentation promotes procedural efficiency and patient safety.

Compatibility and Applications

This heparin flush syringe is compatible with:

• PICC lines and central venous catheters
• Implanted ports and tunneled catheters
• Peripheral IV catheters (per facility protocol)
• Standard Luer-Lok and Luer-slip connections

It is commonly used for:

• Maintaining catheter patency
• Preventing occlusions and thrombotic buildup
• Routine line maintenance in infusion centers, hospitals, and home care

Usage Guidelines

Inspect the syringe packaging before use. Remove the cap using aseptic technique. Prime the syringe by expelling air, attach securely to the catheter hub, and flush using a gentle, pulsatile technique. Do not use force when flushing, especially with central lines. Do not mix medications inside this syringe. Dispose immediately after single use in an approved sharps container.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD heparin flush syringes are manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality systems. They meet FDA and CE standards for single-use sterile medical devices. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing for sterility, accurate heparin concentration, clear labeling, plunger integrity, and Luer connection safety.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with manually prepared heparin flushes, BDs pre-filled syringes provide superior sterility assurance and eliminate preparation variability. Competitor pre-filled syringes may lack consistent pressure control or smooth plunger performance. BDs engineering ensures dependable flushing force, accurate dosing, and reduced catheter strain.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This product is most frequently used by:

• Hospital infusion and vascular access teams
• Home infusion nursing staff
• Rapid-care and oncology infusion centers
• Clinics managing long-term central access devices

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Use only gentle, low-pressure flushing techniques. Never force fluid through a resistant or occluded lineassess catheter patency first. Store syringes in a clean, dry environment. Do not expose to extreme temperatures. Never reuse or re-sterilize. Follow your facilitys protocol for line maintenance and heparin use.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For single use only. Sterile unless package is opened or damaged. Contains 10 units/mL heparin; confirm no patient contraindications (e.g., heparin allergy or HIT). Follow OSHA guidelines and institutional policies for sharps and biohazard handling.
