The One-Link IV connector is intended for single patient use with a vascular access device for the administration of drugs and solutions without needles and can be used to aspirate blood.

Key Issues with IV Connectors

Catheter Occlusions

• Catheter occlusion is the most common noninfectious complication in the use of central venous catheters (CVCs) and occurs in approximately 33% of these catheters.
• A common cause for catheter occlusion is clotting of blood refluxed into the catheter. Blood reflux occurs when an administration set or syringe is connected to a positive displacement connector or disconnected from a negative displacement connector.
• Catheter occlusions can interrupt IV therapy, increase risk of serious complications, and add to the cost of care.

Bloodstream Infections

• The FDA has expressed concern about several clinical reports regarding the association of BSIs with positive displacement devices.
• Facilities and governments have increased pressure to reduce hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
• An estimated 248,000 bloodstream infections occur in U.S. hospitals each year with a large portion associated with CVCs.
• These infections independently increase hospital costs and length of stay.
• By several analyses the cost of these infections is substantial in terms of morbidity and financial resources expended.

Connector Failure

• Connectors not designed to tolerate pressures used for power injection can fail and harm the patient.
• Failure can delay treatment of patient

Training Requirements

• Multiple connectors with varied techniques can cause confusion and increased potential for errors.
• IV needleless connectors have become complex in design.
