BD 306545 - Normal Saline PosiFlush 0.9 Percent Sodium Chloride 5 mL Sterile Preservative-Free Syringe, 30/BX

The BD 306545 PosiFlush Normal Saline Syringe is a sterile, pre-filled flush syringe designed to support safe and consistent IV catheter and vascular access device maintenance. Filled with 0.9% sodium chloride solution and available in a 5 mL or 10 mL presentation, this syringe eliminates the need for manual preparation, reducing the risk of contamination and medication errors. Each unit is sterile, single-use, and engineered with BDs high-quality syringe technology to ensure smooth plunger operation and precise flushing.

Key Benefits

The pre-filled, sterile design streamlines workflow and enhances patient safety by removing steps that could introduce contaminants. The PosiFlush syringe provides a consistent flush volume calibrated to prevent excessive pressure, lowering the risk of catheter damage. BDs soft, easy-to-activate plunger and clear barrel markings ensure smooth handling and accurate flush delivery, supporting reliable line patency in all care environments.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD PosiFlush syringe is compatible with:

• Peripheral IV catheters
• PICC lines and central venous catheters
• Ports and implanted vascular access devices
• Standard Luer-Lok and Luer-slip connections

Common applications include:

• Routine flushing before and after medication administration
• Maintaining catheter patency
• Preventing occlusion in short- and long-term vascular access devices
• Use in hospitals, infusion centers, emergency care, and home health settings

Usage Guidelines

Inspect the syringe package prior to use to ensure sterility. Remove the cap using aseptic technique. Prime the syringe to remove air, attach to the IV access point, and flush using gentle, pulsatile pressure as recommended by clinical guidelines. Do not mix medications in this syringe. Dispose of the syringe immediately after single-patient use.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD PosiFlush syringes are manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality systems. They meet FDA and CE requirements for sterile, single-use medical devices. Each syringe lot undergoes strict quality control testing for sterility, sodium chloride concentration accuracy, plunger smoothness, and connection integrity.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with manually prepared saline flushes or generic pre-filled alternatives, BD PosiFlush syringes offer superior sterility assurance, consistent volume accuracy, and a design optimized for safe pressure levels in vascular lines. Competitor products may introduce variability in filling, plunger force, or sterility integrity, whereas BDs well-established manufacturing provides reliable, high-quality performance.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This product is commonly used by:

• Hospital nursing and infusion therapy teams
• Emergency and critical care clinicians
• Ambulatory infusion centers
• Home health providers
