Cautions:

• Do not bend the needle when using the catheter system.
• Never insert a needle into the catheter septum.
• Do not use scissors at or near the insertion site.
• The BD Q-Syte device should not be used with needles, blunt cannula, non-ISO Luers, or ISO Luers with visible defects. Doing so may result in leakage and/or failure of the device.
• If a needle or blunt cannula injection is attempted, the BD Q-Syte device must be replaced immediately.
• Luer-slip connections should not be left unattended due to the potential for disconnection.
• When connecting to or disconnecting from the BD Q-Syte device, hold the device itself, not the female Luer adapter, to avoid over-tightening or accidental removal of the device.
• When using the BD Q-Syte device with a Luer-slip syringe, avoid “over-twisting” as the tip is inserted or removed. Excessive force or “overtwisting” is not required due to the softness of the material and may damage the integrity of the device.
• When connecting to or disconnecting from the BD Q-Syte device, always insert or remove the male Luer using a ”straight-on/straight-off” approach. Angled insertions/removals may cause poor functioning and/or damage to the device.
• To avoid damage to the BD Q-Sye device, do not rotate the male Luer while it is inserted.
• If blood is present, flush the BD Q-Syte device with a minimum of 5 mL or until clear. If unable to clear, replacement is recommended.
• Do not attempt to override or defeat the needle shielding mechanism.
• Report needlesticks immediately and follow established protocol.
• Immediately dispose of any needles that fail to shield, keeping the needlepoint away from the body and fingers at all times.
• Exposure to blood, either through percutaneous puncture with a contaminated needle or via mucous membranes, may lead to serious illnesses such as hepatitis, HIV (AIDS), or other infectious diseases.
• This is not a dual-lumen catheter.
• When the access ports are removed and a direct connection is made, 18- 22-gauge catheter systems are suitable for use with power injectors set to a maximum pressure of 300 psi and within top flow rate recommendations.
• The patency of the catheter system must be assured immediately before power injecting.
• Measures should be taken to avoid kinking or obstructing the catheter system during power injection to prevent product failure.
• Re-use may lead to infection or other illness/injury.
• It is recommended that the BD Nexiva device be changed according to facility policy, CDC (USA) guidelines, or if the integrity of the device has been compromised.

Warnings: 24 gauge catheter systems should not be used with power injectors
