BD 7617405 - PICC Catheter Tray, Basic, Groshong, Single, 4 FR, 5/cs (Continental US Only)
The BD 7617405 PICC Catheter Tray is a professional vascular-access system featuring a 4 Fr single-lumen Groshong NXT ClearVue peripherally inserted central catheter in a basic procedural tray configuration. Designed for patients requiring intermediate- to long-term central venous access, the catheter supports compatible infusion therapy, medication administration, nutritional therapy, blood sampling, and other prescribed vascular-access applications.
The catheter is constructed from silicone and incorporates a radiopaque stripe to support visualization during appropriate imaging and placement-confirmation procedures. Its single-lumen configuration provides one dedicated pathway for prescribed intravenous therapy while maintaining a relatively streamlined 4 Fr catheter profile.
A three-way Groshong valve at the distal end is designed to help control fluid movement through the catheter. The valve responds to pressure changes during infusion and aspiration while remaining closed under neutral pressure, helping reduce unintended blood reflux into the catheter lumen.
The catheter also features a rounded, radiopaque atraumatic distal tip designed to support vascular placement while minimizing unnecessary mechanical trauma when appropriately positioned.
The exact BD 7617405 configuration is a basic tray without a microintroducer. It has a listed gravity flow rate of approximately 540 mL per hour, a priming volume of approximately 0.45 mL, an 18-gauge equivalent lumen, and an internal diameter of approximately 0.033 inch.
BD 7617405 is supplied five PICC catheter trays per case for professional hospital, infusion, oncology, and vascular-access applications.

Potential applications include compatible intravenous medication administration, antibiotic therapy, chemotherapy, hydration, parenteral nutrition, blood specimen collection, and other prescribed therapies requiring reliable central vascular access.
The 4 Fr single-lumen configuration may be appropriate when one infusion pathway meets the patient's treatment requirements. Clinicians should consider therapy type, anticipated duration, prescribed medications, infusion characteristics, vessel size, patient anatomy, and institutional vascular-access policies before selecting the catheter.
The Groshong valve is designed to remain closed at neutral pressure and respond appropriately during positive-pressure infusion or negative-pressure aspiration. This valve configuration is intended to help reduce blood reflux while supporting infusion and blood-withdrawal procedures according to current manufacturer instructions.
The basic tray configuration does not include the same procedural components as a full nursing tray or a basic tray specifically supplied with a microintroducer. Facilities should verify that all required insertion, guidewire, introducer, sterile preparation, securement, dressing, and connection components are available before beginning the procedure.
BD 7617405 should not be assumed to be suitable for power injection. Clinicians should verify the exact product labeling, implanted catheter specifications, and complete system compatibility before any pressure-injection procedure. When power injection is required, a catheter specifically labeled for the intended pressure and flow conditions should be selected.
