BD 392634 - Autoguard BC Pro Shielded IV Catheter 20G x 1.16 Inch Winged Pink Safety IV Catheter, 50/BX, 4 BX/CS (Continental US Only)

The BD 392634 Autoguard BC Pro Shielded IV Catheter is a sterile, single-use peripheral intravenous catheter designed to support reliable vascular access while helping reduce accidental needlestick risk. This catheter features a 20G size, 1.16 inch length, winged configuration, and pink color coding for quick gauge identification.

The Autoguard BC Pro design includes an automatic needle shielding mechanism that helps protect clinicians after catheter insertion. The winged design supports handling control during placement and helps improve stabilization after insertion.

Key Benefits

The BD 392634 supports healthcare worker safety with passive needle shielding that automatically covers the needle after use. This helps reduce exposure to contaminated sharps and supports facility sharps safety programs.

The 20G x 1.16 inch configuration is suitable for routine IV therapy, medication administration, hydration, infusion therapy, and selected blood product applications. The slightly longer 1.16 inch length provides added reach compared with shorter 20G catheter options.

The sterile, single-use design supports infection prevention and helps reduce cross-contamination risk between patients.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 392634 is compatible with standard IV administration sets, extension sets, infusion pumps, needleless connectors, and peripheral vascular access accessories used in healthcare facilities.

Common applications include peripheral IV access, fluid therapy, medication infusion, outpatient infusion therapy, perioperative care, emergency treatment, and inpatient vascular access management.

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 392634 only by trained healthcare professionals following manufacturer instructions and facility protocols. Before use, verify package integrity, sterility, expiration date, catheter size, and patient-specific therapy requirements.

Prepare the insertion site using aseptic technique. Insert and secure the catheter according to accepted vascular access practice. After placement, confirm needle shielding and dispose of the used needle assembly in an approved sharps container.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 392634 Autoguard BC Pro Shielded IV Catheter is manufactured for professional medical use and supports infection prevention, vascular access safety, and sharps injury reduction practices.

Facilities should verify current product labeling, regulatory status, sterility documentation, and compliance information through BD, CIA Medical, or authorized product resources before clinical use.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with conventional non-safety IV catheters, the BD 392634 includes passive automatic needle shielding to help reduce needlestick exposure. Compared with manually activated safety catheters, the Autoguard design does not require a separate activation step after placement.

Compared with 20G x 1 inch catheter options, the 1.16 inch length may provide additional reach for patients or procedures where a slightly longer catheter is preferred. The winged design also supports better handling and securement compared with some non-winged alternatives.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The BD 392634 is commonly used by nurses, vascular access specialists, infusion therapists, emergency clinicians, surgical teams, and other trained healthcare professionals responsible for peripheral IV catheter placement.

Typical scenarios include routine medication administration, IV hydration, outpatient infusion, perioperative access, emergency department treatment, and inpatient vascular access support.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 392634 in a clean, dry medical supply area and keep it in its sterile packaging until use. Select catheter size and length based on patient condition, vein assessment, therapy type, and facility protocol.

Monitor the insertion site regularly for infiltration, phlebitis, leakage, occlusion, dislodgement, or infection. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize the catheter.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 392634 is intended for professional healthcare use only. Placement and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel using aseptic technique, standard precautions, and approved vascular access protocols.

Used catheter and needle components should be handled as contaminated sharps and disposed of according to facility policy and biomedical waste regulations.
