Surshield Safety Winged Infusion Set featuring a unique one-handed needle locking mechanism, Surshield safety winged infusion sets help reduce the risk of needle stick injuries in a cost-effective, intuitive way. The shield simply presses over the needle and locks into place with an audible click, allowing safe use without the need to change the insertion technique.

• Needle Length: 3/4 Inch
• Minimal steps for activation
• Minimize the risk of needlestick injuries
• One-handed, easy-to-activate safety device
• Confirmation that the needle is securely locked
• No change in needle insertion technique is required

Note: OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard 1910.1030(d)(2)(vii)(B)

Surshield Safety Winged Needle Sets have soft, flexible, interlocking wings that readily conform to the body’s contour. The needles are bonded to the wings at just under a 3° downward angle, for less risk of vessel damage or occlusion of the lumen. The coil-resistant tubing reduces recoil during use. Surshield® Safety Needle sets are DEHP-free and have no components made of natural rubber latex.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

Aseptic technique, proper skin preparation, and continued protection of the site are essential. Observe Universal Precautions on ALL patients

PRECAUTION: Keep hands behind the needle at all times during use and disposal.

NOTE: Use only one set for I.V. Administration or Blood Collection. The same set should not be used for both procedures.

Open the package.

For I.V. administration: Remove the luer adapter from the hub of the blood collection set. Connect an administration set, syringe, etc. to the hub and secure.

• Proceed to step 5.

NOTE PRIMING VOLUME= 0.41ml

For Blood Collection:

• Prior to removing the luer adapter protector, tighten the connection of the luer adapter to the hub of the blood collection set.
• Remove the protector from the luer adapter.
• Thread into the holder.
• Flip the safety shield back away from the needle towards the tubing. Grasp wings.
• Remove the needle protector. Caution: Care should be taken not to touch the needle.
• Perform venipuncture and confirm proper positioning in the vessel, and proceed with blood collection or I.V. administration per facility protocol.

Note: The draw volume in the initial evacuated blood collection tube will be reduced by approximately 0.5 ml due to the dead space in the collection set tubing.

AFTER USE

• Remove tape, if present, from the wings.
• Flip the safety shield forward toward the needle. Grasp the wing with your thumb on top of the shield and your index finger under the wing. Completely remove the needle from the puncture site and apply digital pressure to the site using a sterile gauze pad.
• While maintaining the same grip on the device (per step 9 above), activate the safety feature by performing either of the following methods: Slide your thumb forward over the shield while pinching your finger and thumb together (or press the safety shield against a hard surface such as a bedside table) until an audible click is heard and the safety feature is visually confirmed to be activated.

Alternate (two-handed) method:

While keeping both hands behind the needle, grasp one of the wing tabs with your free hand to stabilize the device. (If necessary, reposition your original grip per step 9 being careful not to press against an exposed area of the needle.) Then, slide your thumb forward over shield while pinching your finger and thumb together until an audible click is heard and the safety feature is visually confirmed to be activated.

Caution: The needle must be carefully and firmly placed into the lock position of the safety shield.

• Do not attempt to deactivate the safety device by separating the needle from the safety shield.
• Dispose of used needles and materials following the policies and procedures of your facility, as well as federal and local regulations for “Sharps Disposal.”
