BD 406157 - Epidural Tray with 18G x 3 1/2 Inch Perisafe Tuohy Needle, Glass LOR Syringe, Lidocaine 1%, and Luer-Lok Syringes, 10/CS (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returna

The BD 406157 Epidural Tray is a sterile, disposable epidural single-shot tray designed for professional anesthesia, labor and delivery, surgical, and pain management environments. It includes an 18G x 3 1/2 inch BD Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle, 5 mL BD Epilor glass loss-of-resistance syringe with glass tip, lidocaine HCL 1% 5 mL, an 18G x 1 1/2 inch short bevel needle, 25G x 1 1/2 inch needle, 5 mL Luer-Lok syringe, and 10 mL Luer-Lok syringe. CIA Medical lists this configuration as an Rx epidural tray, 10 per case, with temperature-sensitive and non-returnable handling terms. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

This tray supports trained anesthesia professionals by organizing key epidural procedure components into one standardized sterile setup. The Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle supports epidural access, while the Epilor glass LOR syringe is used during the loss-of-resistance technique to help identify the epidural space. BD describes its epidural anesthesia tray portfolio as containing needles, LOR syringes, accessories, and components used by anesthesiologists to perform epidural procedures. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406157 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 procedural care areas where an epidural anesthesia setup may be clinically indicated.

BDs official specification identifies the tray as an epidural single-shot standard tray with an 18G x 3 1/2 inch BD Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle, luer hub anesthesia needle, 10 mL BD Luer-Lok syringe, 5 mL BD Epilor glass LOR syringe, lidocaine HCL 1% 5 mL, povidone-iodine topical solution, and blue paper fenestrated drape. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Usage Guidelines

• Use only by trained and qualified healthcare professionals experienced in epidural anesthesia techniques.
• Inspect the tray 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 lidocaine labeling, concentration, expiration date, contraindications, allergy risk, and patient-specific suitability before use.
• Use the epidural needle, LOR syringe, injection needles, and Luer-Lok syringes 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 406157 as a sterile, disposable epidural single-shot standard tray sterilized by EO. The official BD specification lists GTIN each 00382904061579, GTIN case 50382904061574, and 10 units per case. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

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 details are important because the tray includes medication components and should be handled according to manufacturer and facility requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Comparison with Competitor Products

The BD 406157 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 406157 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:6]{index=6}

Compared with BD epidural trays that include sodium chloride or epinephrine-containing lidocaine, this configuration focuses on lidocaine HCL 1% 5 mL with supporting needles and Luer-Lok syringes. Compared with trays using metal-tip LOR syringes, the official BD specification identifies this model with a 5 mL BD Epilor glass LOR syringe with glass tip. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406157 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 epidural single-shot setup with an 18G x 3 1/2 inch Perisafe Tuohy epidural needle, glass LOR syringe, lidocaine HCL 1%, supporting injection needles, Luer-Lok syringes, and sterile field preparation components. 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 needles, lidocaine, and syringes 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 406157 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% should be used only when clinically appropriate and according to medication labeling and facility protocol.
