One •LinkNeedle-free IV Connector

One Simple SolutionA Neutral Design for Patients

Featuring Bonded and Standard Bore Power Injectable Sets

IV Access.Connect to the power of choice.

The One-Link connector’s neutral fluid displacement is designed to help reduce the risk of thrombotic catheter occlusions compared to devices with higher reflux volumes.1

The clear housing can enhance clinical practice.

Engineered for simple performance 1

• Neutral fluid displacement design — helps reduce the risk of thrombotic catheter occlusions compared to devices with higher reflux volumes 2

• Power injection compatible (up to 325 psi, 10 mL/second) — helps minimize connector failure and change-outs

• Compatible, flexible design — works with a variety of valved and non-valved vascular access catheters

• No clamping sequence required

— Simplifies training

— Clamp when not in use for patient safety

• Tested for use up to 7 days/200 actuations † — aligns with CDC 2011 guidelines for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections

• Saline or Heparin flush option — allows clinician flexibility to follow facility protocols

Note: refer to catheter manufacturers’ flushing instructions.† Replace per institution protocol. The One-Link connector can be used for up to 200

actuations and over a period of 7 days. Replace device whichever comes first.

One •LinkNeedle-free IV Connector

One Simple Solutionto meet patient and clinician needs

* One-Link Needle-free IV Connector (7N8399)

Finger-grip design reduces the likelihood of touch contamination

Smooth surface for easy cleansing reduces the risk of contamination

Clear housing allows for visualization of the fluid path

Double-seal design provides an effective barrier to microbial ingress

Straight fluid path promotes thorough flushing

Non-PVC* and Non-DEHP for patients with special requirements

Meets power injection needs 1

• Tubing and slide clamp — identify maximum pressure for power injection compatible components

Meets FDA labeling recommendations for use with power injectors 3

* Prior to power injection, ensure all parts of IV system are compatible. Replace if a pressure over 325 psi is applied to the connector.

• Compatible with power injection (up to 325 psi)* — designed to prevent connector and tubing failure

• Helps minimize change-outs — when used with compatible pressure rated catheter and extension set

• Maximum flow rate of 10 mL/second — appropriate for a wide variety of patient types

One Simple Solutionfor CT/MRI applications

One Simple Solutionfor your patient’s needs • Neutral fluid displacement design

— designed to help reduce the risk of thrombotic catheter occlusions, compared to devices with higher reflux volumes 1

• Low priming volume of 0.08 mL — minimizes excessive flush volumes for fluid restricted patients

• Smooth surface, easy to cleanse — promotes reduction of contamination

• Compatible with a variety of valved and non-valved vascular access catheters — provides flexibility for use throughout the facility and may help reduce time and cost

• Double-seal design — provides an effective barrier to microbial ingress

• Non-PVC and Non-DEHP — for patients with special requirements

One •LinkNeedle-free IV Connector

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.

Adapted from McKnight 2004.

Number of CVCs placed per year 5,000,000

Percent thrombotic 10 58%

Estimated U.S. annual central venous catheters

Studies have shown a relationship between the presence of thrombosis and CR-BSIs.2

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.4,10

• 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.4

• Cather occlusions can interrupt IV therapy, increase risk of serious complications, and add to the cost of care.4

Bloodstream Infections• The FDA has expressed concern about several clinical reports

regarding the association of BSIs with positive displacement devices.5

• 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.6

• These infections independently increase hospital costs and length of stay.7

• By several analyses the cost of these infections is substantial in terms of morbidity and financial resources expended.7

Connector Failure• Connectors not designed to tolerate pressures used for power

injection can fail and harm the patient.3

• Failure can delay treatment of patient.8

Training Requirements• Multiple connectors with varied techniques can cause

confusion and increased potential for errors.9

• IV needleless connectors have become complex in design.9
