BD 406072 - Epidural Tray with 20G x 3 1/2 Inch Perisafe Tuohy Epidural Needle, Glass LOR Syringe, Lidocaine 1%, Sodium Chloride, and Blue Drape, 10/CS (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returnable) (Continental US Only)

The BD 406072 Epidural Tray is a sterile, disposable epidural single-shot tray designed for professional anesthesia, labor and delivery, surgical, and pain management environments. It includes a 20G x 3 1/2 inch BD Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle, 5 mL BD Epilor glass loss-of-resistance syringe with glass luer slip tip, lidocaine HCL 1% 5 mL, sodium chloride 0.9% 10 mL, and a blue paper fenestrated drape. BD lists this product as a standard epidural single-shot tray with sterile contents, EO sterilization, and disposable configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

This tray supports trained anesthesia professionals by organizing commonly used epidural procedure components into one standardized sterile setup. The Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle supports epidural access, while the glass LOR syringe is used during the loss-of-resistance technique to help identify the epidural space. The included lidocaine and sodium chloride components support procedural preparation according to medication labeling, patient assessment, clinician judgment, and facility protocol.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406072 is designed for epidural single-shot procedures performed by trained and qualified anesthesia professionals. It is suitable for hospitals, operating rooms, labor and delivery units, ambulatory surgery centers, pain management clinics, and other procedural environments where an epidural anesthesia setup may be clinically indicated.

BD identifies this tray as a standard epidural single-shot tray with a luer hub anesthesia needle, no epidural catheter, 20 mL BD Luer-Lok syringe, 5 mL BD Epilor glass LOR syringe, lidocaine HCL 1% 5 mL, sodium chloride 0.9% 10 mL, and blue paper fenestrated drape. These components support a standardized sterile setup for compatible epidural workflows. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Usage Guidelines

• Use only by trained and qualified healthcare professionals experienced in epidural anesthesia techniques.
• Inspect the tray packaging before use and do not use if the sterile barrier is damaged, opened, expired, or compromised.
• Confirm the product number, needle gauge, needle length, medication contents, expiration date, and procedure requirements before opening.
• Use strict aseptic technique during preparation, skin antisepsis, draping, needle handling, loss-of-resistance technique, and medication administration.
• Review all included medications for concentration, expiration date, contraindications, allergy risk, preservative status where applicable, and patient-specific suitability before use.
• Use the epidural needle, LOR syringe, lidocaine, sodium chloride, syringe components, and drape only according to manufacturer instructions, medication labeling, anesthesia protocol, and facility policy.
• Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize tray components.
• Dispose of used needles, syringes, medication containers, and contaminated components according to sharps and regulated medical waste procedures.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD lists the 406072 as a sterile, disposable epidural single-shot standard tray sterilized by EO. The official BD specification lists GTIN each 00382904060725, GTIN case 50382904060720, and 10 units per case. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

BD also lists a total shelf life of up to 2 1/2 years depending on component expiration dates. Storage guidance includes room temperature conditions of 20 to 25 degrees C, permitted excursions from 15 to 30 degrees C, and protection from freezing. These storage requirements are important because the tray contains medication components and sterile procedure supplies. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Comparison with Competitor Products

The BD 406072 is best compared with epidural single-shot trays from manufacturers such as B Braun, Smiths Medical, ICU Medical, and other anesthesia tray suppliers. Compared with assembling separate epidural components, this BD tray provides a standardized sterile configuration that can help reduce preparation time, support procedural consistency, and simplify purchasing for anesthesia departments.

Compared with continuous epidural trays, the BD 406072 is configured as an epidural single-shot tray and does not include an epidural catheter. This makes it more appropriate for single-shot epidural workflows rather than continuous catheter-based epidural analgesia. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Compared with BD 406097, which is listed as a 20G epidural tray with a glass LOR syringe with metal tip and clear drape, the BD 406072 uses a glass luer slip tip LOR syringe and blue paper fenestrated drape. Compared with BD 406096, which is also a 20G blue drape tray but listed with a metal-tip LOR syringe, the BD 406072 is better aligned with facilities that prefer the glass luer slip tip syringe configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406072 include anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia assistants where permitted, pain management physicians, and trained operating room, labor and delivery, or procedural support teams.

This tray is most relevant in clinical scenarios requiring a sterile single-shot epidural setup with a 20G x 3 1/2 inch Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle, glass LOR syringe, lidocaine HCL 1%, sodium chloride 0.9%, syringe components, skin preparation supplies, and blue paper fenestrated drape. Common use environments include labor and delivery anesthesia support, surgical anesthesia workflows, perioperative pain management, outpatient procedural anesthesia, and pain management settings where the clinician determines that epidural technique is appropriate.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Store trays according to BDs stated room-temperature guidance and protect them from freezing.
• Rotate stock by earliest expiration date because usable shelf life may depend on the shortest-dated component in the tray.
• Keep trays in original packaging until ready for use.
• Verify all medication labels, concentrations, and expiration dates before preparation or administration.
• Maintain a sterile field throughout the procedure and discard any component if sterility is compromised.
• Confirm that patient monitoring, emergency medications, and resuscitation support are available according to facility anesthesia policy.
• Use the LOR syringe, epidural needle, injection components, lidocaine, saline, skin prep, and drape only for their intended procedural roles.
• Do not substitute tray components without clinician approval and facility protocol alignment.
• Dispose of all used sharps immediately in an approved sharps container.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 406072 is intended for professional medical use in epidural anesthesia workflows. Epidural procedures involve significant clinical risk and should only be performed by trained clinicians following institutional policy, patient assessment, medication labeling, and accepted anesthesia practice standards.

Do not use this tray if the package is damaged, if any component is missing or compromised, if medication labeling is unclear, if the product is expired, or if the tray configuration does not match the intended procedure. The included lidocaine HCL 1% and sodium chloride 0.9% should be used only when clinically appropriate and according to medication labeling and facility protocol.
