Helping you enhance patient safety and standardize clinical protocols with a full portfolio of infusion technologies

ICU Medical was founded more than three decades ago on a simple premise: develop innovative

products that help clinicians improve the safety and efficiency of IV therapy. Our current line of

IV consumables is designed to help you standardize clinical protocols for all patients and care

areas—whether for general infusion, central lines, or neonates—to help you maximize safety and

efficiency while minimizing unnecessary costs.

Peripheral IV Catheters

Whether you’re using the NovaCath™ integrated IV catheter system or the SuperCath™ 5 safety IV catheter, ICU Medical’s PIVCs are designed to be intuitive for the user, comfortable for the patient, and safe for both the clinician and patient—helping you maximize healthcare worker safety and clinical efficiency and improve patient outcomes.

IV sets featuring our full line of market-leading infection control technology.

Helping you maximize patient and clinician safety with market-leading infection control technology2

When it comes to choosing IV consumables technologies, safety is your first concern.

Ours too. That’s why we have developed a complete line of products—from PIVCs

to connectors, to procedure-ready IV sets and disinfecting caps—that have been

designed with patient and clinician safety at the forefront. Each of our products

has been engineered with unique and proprietary safety features you can trust to

help in your clinical safety initiatives.

Help reduce the risk of CRBSIs and catheter occlusions with Clave IV connectors and disinfecting caps8,12

> Clave technology minimizes entry points for bacteria, maximizes the efficiency of every flush, and has been shown to outperform other connectors in terms of bacterial transfer and contamination.3

> Clave Neutron™ anti-reflux technology may help you reduce catheter occlusions by 50%.12

> SwabCap is the only disinfecting cap to provide continuous disinfection for up to 7 days, if not removed.16

Silicone Seal and Internal CannulaSpecifically designed to minimize contact between the connector’s external surface and the internal fluid path upon luer activation, this proven Clave technology minimizes entry points for bacteria.3,4,5

Split Septuma preferred design feature for needlefree connectors17

Straight Fluid Pathfor clearing drug residual with low flush volumes14,19

Minimal Residual Volume (also referred to as priming volume) allows for lower flush volumes

Market-leading infection control technology2

Clave needlefree IV connector technology can help your efforts to

reduce infection risks by minimizing entry points for bacteria and

maximizing the effectiveness of every flush while helping you

comply with CDC17 and Infusion Nurses Society (INS)18 guidelines.

Improve efficiencies throughout the infusion therapy process with technology designed to standardize nursing protocolsIn today’s fast-paced clinical environments, time is of the essence. And if you’re a nurse, you want to make

every second of time you spend with your patients count. ICU Medical IV consumables are designed to let

you standardize processes and minimize setup time so you can spend more time caring for your patients.

Standardize your nursing protocols around Clave connectors, featuring a single, clinically-preferred needlefree IV technology to minimize clinical training

and in-servicing while maximizing patient safety.²

NICU General Floor Anesthesia

> Minimize variations in nursing protocols with PIVCs featuring integrated IV tubing and catheter securement that eliminate traditional J-Loop PIVC setup

> Avoid the time and hassle of additional add-on securement devices

Improve efficiency and reduce setup time at the point of care by designing procedure-ready IV sets exactly how you need them

> Avoid assembling multiple components at the bedside

> Limit inventory of different set SKUs to free up shelf space and save time searching for the set you need

Clinically preferred Clave technology allows you to use a single clinical protocol with all patient populations—streamlining

workflows and maximizing safety.

Help minimize overall costs while enhancing patient safety across the continuum of care

Reduce catheter occlusions and associated treatment costs

Preventing blood reflux with Clave Neutron has been shown to help you reduce central line catheter

occlusions by up to 50%12, allowing a hospital that places 2,000 central lines a year to potentially

save more than $266,000 by lowering tPA costs, PIVC replacement costs, and increased length of stay.

When it comes to caring for your patients, every detail matters. That’s why each component in ICU Medical’s

complete line of IV consumables has been designed to provide maximum clinical performance while helping

you minimize the cost of care.

Reduce overall treatment costs by avoiding heparin use

The saline flush option for all ICU Medical

connectors, including MicroClave™ and Tego™,

lets you eliminate the cost and clinical concerns

associated with the use of heparin.

Avoid costly add-on securement devices for PIVCs

NovaCath’s built-in stabilization frame lets you

avoid add-on securement devices, allowing

a typical 300-bed hospital to save up to

$146,000 in supplies, blood cleanup, and

a reduction in catheter usage.
