BD 383592 - Closed IV Catheter System for Radiographic Power Injection, 20G x 1", Sterile High-Pressure Vascular Access Device, 20/SP, 4 SP/CS (Continental US Only)
The BD 383592 Closed IV Catheter System is a sterile, 20-gauge, 1-inch high-performance vascular access device engineered specifically for radiographic power injection. Designed to withstand the high pressures required during contrast-enhanced imaging (such as CT scans), this system provides secure, reliable, and closed IV access that minimizes contamination risks. The integrated closed system reduces blood exposure, improves catheter stability, and enhances patient safety during high-flow contrast delivery. Manufactured by BD, this catheter system meets the demanding requirements of diagnostic imaging environments.

Key Benefits
The BD 383592 catheter system offers superior safety and performance during radiographic injections. Its high-pressure rating allows safe delivery of contrast media without compromising catheter integrity. The closed system design reduces blood leakage, minimizes exposure risk for clinicians, and maintains a cleaner insertion field. The 20G size ensures optimal flow rates while maintaining comfortable insertion for patients. A precision-engineered needle supports smooth venous access and efficient catheter advancement.
Compatibility and Applications
This closed IV catheter system is compatible with radiographic power injectors, standard IV administration sets, and contrast delivery equipment. It is commonly used in diagnostic imaging departments, CT scan suites, emergency departments, and interventional radiology units. Applications include contrast-enhanced CT, angiographic studies, and any procedure requiring rapid and controlled infusion of contrast agents through a high-pressure rated catheter.
Usage Guidelines
Prepare the insertion site using aseptic technique. Insert the catheter until blood return confirms venous placement, then advance the catheter fully while withdrawing the needle. Activate the integrated safety mechanisms as designed, and flush with saline to confirm patency. Connect the catheter to the radiographic injector tubing following equipment guidelines. Monitor the access site throughout the procedure for proper flow and catheter stability. Remove and dispose of the unit per facility protocols after use.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
This catheter system is manufactured according to BDs rigorous quality standards and complies with regulatory requirements for sterile, single-use vascular access devices. It meets high-pressure injection performance criteria required for radiographic injectors and adheres to clinical safety guidelines for closed IV systems. BDs quality controls ensure structural integrity, safety, and compatibility with contrast agents.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to standard IV catheters or non-closed systems, the BD 383592 offers improved safety through reduced blood exposure and enhanced system integrity during high-pressure injections. Many competitor devices are not pressure-rated for contrast delivery or lack closed-system protection. BDs catheter design provides greater reliability, stability, and safety, making it a preferred option in imaging departments requiring consistent performance.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This catheter system is typically used by radiology technologists, nurses, CT imaging specialists, and emergency clinicians. It is ideal for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced scans, trauma imaging, urgent CT diagnostics, or studies requiring rapid and controlled infusion. Its 20G configuration supports balanced flow while maintaining patient comfort during insertion.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Confirm pressure rating and catheter size before radiographic injection. Maintain aseptic technique and ensure catheter stability throughout the procedure. Flush before and after contrast delivery to maintain patency. Monitor for signs of infiltration or extravasation, especially during high-pressure injection. Dispose of the catheter system immediately after use; it is single-use only.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The BD 383592 system complies with safety and sterility requirements for closed IV access devices and meets guidelines for contrast injection safety. Its closed design helps prevent blood spray, leakage, and unnecessary exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Users must follow institutional policies for radiographic injection, sharps safety, and vascular access management.
