B Braun 412002 - DP2001 Dispensing Pin, 50 EA/CS
The B Braun 412002 DP2001 Dispensing Pin is designed to streamline and secure the process of fluid extraction from multi-dose vials, minimizing exposure to air and preventing contamination. This pin is particularly advantageous in high-demand healthcare settings where medications or solutions need to be drawn repeatedly from the same vial. Equipped with a built-in filter and air vent, it allows air to flow into the vial as fluid is withdrawn, stabilizing internal pressure and ensuring smooth, drip-free fluid transfer.
This dispensing pin is particularly useful in environments where precision, sterility, and vial integrity are critical. By minimizing repeated punctures of the vial stopper, the DP2001 preserves vial sterility for extended use, reducing waste and supporting cost-efficiency.
Detailed Key Benefits
Enhanced Sterility and Safety: The DP2001 is designed to preserve sterility during multiple fluid withdrawals, significantly reducing the risk of microbial contamination. This safety feature is crucial in clinical environments where strict infection control is essential.
Built-In Air Vent with Filter: The pins air vent includes a filter that allows clean air to enter the vial, preventing internal pressure build-up and facilitating a smooth, continuous fluid transfer. This feature is highly beneficial when working with viscous or temperature-sensitive solutions, which may be sensitive to air pressure variations.
Maintains Vial Integrity: The B Braun DP2001 reduces the need for multiple punctures, keeping the stopper intact and preventing micro-tears that can compromise vial sterility. This feature extends the usability of multi-dose vials, minimizing waste and supporting cost-efficient practices in healthcare facilities.
Single-Use Sterile Design: As a single-use device, the DP2001 ensures that each pin used is sterile, helping maintain a clean environment with each fluid transfer and aligning with aseptic protocols.
Expanded Compatibility and Applications
The DP2001 Dispensing Pin is compatible with a broad range of multi-dose vials, making it versatile across various settings, including:
- Hospitals and Infusion Centers: Ideal for high-frequency medication preparation and compounding.
- Pharmacies: Essential for pharmacists in compounding medications or preparing IV admixtures.
- Laboratories: Useful for drawing and mixing solutions in sterile environments, particularly in research or diagnostic laboratories.
The pin is suitable for a range of solutions, from liquid medications to other fluids used in therapeutic or laboratory settings.
Comprehensive Usage Guidelines
Aseptic Setup: Start with a clean, sterilized working environment to maintain aseptic conditions. Wearing gloves, open the sterile packaging carefully to avoid contaminating the pin.
Insertion: Firmly press the DP2001 pin into the vial stopper, ensuring a secure, airtight connection. This prevents any leaks and stabilizes the vial during fluid extraction.
Fluid Withdrawal: Attach a syringe to the Luer connector on the pin and gently withdraw the required fluid volume. The built-in air vent allows for controlled flow, maintaining consistent pressure inside the vial as the fluid is drawn.
After Use: Dispose of the pin following facility protocols for biohazardous materials to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
