BD 672010 - PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set with Y-Injection Site, 20G x 1", 20/PK (Continental US Only)

The BD 672010 PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set is a sterile, single-use port-access device designed for accessing compatible surgically implanted vascular ports. The set features a 20-gauge non-coring needle with a 1-inch length, an integrated Y-injection site, and approximately 8-inch tubing for flexible connection during infusion therapy and vascular-access procedures.

The PowerLoc system supports administration of compatible medications and fluids, blood specimen collection, implanted port flushing, and power injection through appropriately rated vascular-access systems. The 20-gauge configuration provides a practical balance between needle diameter and flow capability for a broad range of infusion and diagnostic imaging applications.

The 1-inch needle length accommodates implanted ports positioned at a moderate depth beneath the skin. Correct needle-length selection helps support complete septum access, stable positioning, effective dressing application, and appropriate access-site management.

The integrated Y-injection site provides an additional access point within the tubing for compatible intermittent medication administration, flushing, or connection of another approved fluid pathway. This configuration uses approximately 8-inch tubing and has an approximate priming volume of 0.4 mL.

An integrated safety mechanism is designed to help reduce accidental needlestick exposure during port deaccessing. As the needle is removed from the port and enters the base, the safety shield covers the needle point and locks the needle into a protected position. Tactile feedback, an audible click, and visual confirmation help verify lockout before handling and disposal.

The PowerLoc platform features a compact, low-profile, lightweight design intended to facilitate dressing placement, maintain access-site visibility, and support routine implanted port management. BD 672010 is supplied 20 sets per case.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 672010 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 20-gauge configuration may be selected when moderate-to-high flow capability is required while maintaining a smaller needle diameter than a 19-gauge access device. Selection should consider medication or fluid characteristics, required flow rate, implanted port specifications, infusion equipment, imaging requirements, and professional clinical judgment.

The 1-inch needle length may be appropriate when a 0.75-inch needle does not provide sufficient depth but a 1.5-inch configuration would provide unnecessary additional length. Patient anatomy, tissue depth, and implanted port position should be assessed before needle selection.

The integrated Y-injection site provides secondary access within the tubing. It may support compatible intermittent medication administration, flushing, or connection of another approved fluid pathway when permitted by the prescribed therapy and institutional protocol.

For power injection, the implanted port, PowerLoc needle, tubing, connectors, Y-injection site, 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 operating 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.
