BD 651915 - PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set Without Y-Injection Site, 19G x 1.5", 20/PK (Continental US Only)

The BD 651915 PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set is a professional port-access device designed for accessing compatible surgically implanted vascular ports. The set features a 19-gauge non-coring needle with a 1.5-inch length and is configured without a Y-injection site, providing a direct fluid pathway for compatible infusion therapy and vascular-access procedures.

The PowerLoc system supports administration of compatible fluids and medications, blood specimen collection, implanted port flushing, and power injection through appropriately rated vascular-access systems. The 19-gauge configuration provides a larger fluid pathway for applications requiring higher flow capability.

The 1.5-inch needle length is designed for implanted ports positioned beneath a greater depth of subcutaneous tissue. Correct needle-length selection helps support complete septum access, stable positioning, effective dressing application, and appropriate management of deeper implanted ports.

This configuration uses approximately 8-inch tubing with a Luer-lock connection. Because the set does not include a Y-injection site, it provides a streamlined direct pathway without an integrated secondary medication or fluid-access point.

An integrated safety mechanism is designed to help reduce accidental needlestick exposure during port deaccessing. The safety feature helps cover and secure the needle point following withdrawal, supporting safer handling before final sharps disposal.

The PowerLoc platform features a compact, low-profile, lightweight design with ergonomic wings, access-site visibility, downward-angled tubing, and adaptability for appropriate dual-lumen implanted ports. BD 651915 is supplied 20 sets per shelfpack.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 651915 PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set is intended for use with compatible surgically implanted vascular-access ports designed to accept non-coring port-access needles.

Potential clinical applications include chemotherapy administration, antibiotic therapy, hydration, parenteral nutrition, blood product administration, long-term infusion therapy, blood specimen collection, implanted port flushing, and compatible contrast-media injection during diagnostic imaging procedures.

The 19-gauge configuration may be selected when higher flow capability is required and the implanted port, prescribed therapy, and complete fluid pathway are compatible with a larger-gauge access needle. Selection should consider medication or fluid viscosity, desired flow rate, implanted port specifications, infusion equipment, power-injection requirements, and professional clinical judgment.

The 1.5-inch needle length is intended for deeper implanted ports or patients with greater tissue depth over the port septum. A needle that is too short may not fully access the septum, while inappropriate needle selection may affect stability, securement, and effective therapy delivery.

Because BD 651915 does not include a Y-injection site, it provides a direct fluid pathway without an integrated secondary access point. This configuration may be suitable when the planned treatment uses a single primary connection and does not require intermittent medication or fluid administration through a Y-site.

For power injection, the implanted port, PowerLoc needle, tubing, connectors, extension components, and every other device within the complete fluid pathway must be appropriately rated for the intended procedure. The lowest-rated component determines the maximum allowable pressure and flow rate.

Compatibility should be confirmed with the exact implanted port model, septum design, tissue depth, prescribed therapy, infusion pump, power injector, connector system, dressing materials, and institutional vascular-access procedures.

Usage Guidelines

The BD 651915 should be used only by healthcare professionals trained and authorized to access implanted vascular ports. Current manufacturer instructions, aseptic technique, institutional procedures, and the implanted port manufacturer's directions should be followed throughout the procedure.

• Confirm the patient's identity, prescribed therapy, implanted port type, and power-injection status when applicable.
• Assess the location and depth of the implanted port before selecting the 1.5-inch needle.
• Verify that the 19-gauge configuration is appropriate for the intended infusion or imaging procedure.
• Confirm that a configuration without a Y-injection site is appropriate for the planned clinical workflow.
• Inspect the sterile package for damage, punctures, moisture, contamination, or compromised integrity.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 651915 PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set is intended for professional medical use within established vascular-access, infusion-therapy, diagnostic imaging, infection-prevention, and occupational safety programs.

The device should be incorporated into facility procedures addressing implanted port assessment, hand hygiene, sterile preparation, skin antisepsis, port access, infusion administration, dressing care, power injection, deaccessing, and sharps disposal.

The integrated needle safety mechanism is designed to help reduce accidental needle exposure during removal from an implanted vascular port. Correct activation should be confirmed before the used device is handled, transported, or discarded.

The safety feature supports needlestick-prevention practices but does not replace appropriate clinician training, personal protective equipment, safe sharps handling, exposure-control procedures, or immediate disposal in an approved sharps container.

The non-coring needle should be selected according to patient anatomy, implanted port depth, prescribed therapy, required flow characteristics, and current manufacturer instructions.

Healthcare organizations should review current manufacturer documentation for applicable FDA status, UDI information, sterilization method, material composition, natural rubber latex information, DEHP information, shelf life, pressure limitations, warnings, precautions, contraindications, and other product-specific regulatory requirements.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with conventional implanted port needles without integrated safety technology, the BD PowerLoc system incorporates a safety mechanism designed to help protect the needle point after deaccessing. This can help reduce accidental sharps exposure between needle withdrawal and final disposal.

Compared with PowerLoc configurations containing a Y-injection site, BD 651915 provides a direct fluid pathway without an integrated secondary access point. This may simplify the tubing configuration when secondary medication or fluid administration through a Y-site is not required.

Compared with non-power-injectable port-access devices, the PowerLoc platform supports compatible power-injection procedures when used with an appropriately rated implanted port and complete vascular-access system.

Compared with 20-gauge and 22-gauge PowerLoc configurations, the 19-gauge needle provides a larger fluid pathway and may be preferred when higher flow capability is clinically required. Gauge selection should be based on the prescribed procedure, implanted port specifications, fluid characteristics, and patient needs.

Compared with 0.75-inch and 1-inch access needles, the 1.5-inch configuration accommodates implanted ports positioned beneath greater tissue depth. Correct needle-length selection is important because insufficient length may prevent complete septum access and interfere with reliable therapy delivery.

Alternative safety infusion sets may vary in gauge, needle length, power-injection capability, tubing length, safety activation method, connection type, Y-site availability, and package quantity. BD 651915 combines a 19-gauge, 1.5-inch non-coring needle with approximately 8-inch tubing, a Luer-lock connection, integrated safety technology, a direct no-Y-site configuration, and power-injection capability up to 5 mL per second.
