Support evidence based best practices

The BD PosiFlush™ Pre-Filled Syringe supports efforts to reduce the risk of medication errors by meeting Joint Commission4 and ISMP5 (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) medication labelling guidelines. It may reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) when compared to manually prepared flush syringes.3

Support vascular care

Both types, sterile fluid path syringes and externally sterile packaged syringes, come in three volumes (3 mL, 5 mL and 10 mL) of equal diameter (10 mL syringe). Because the BD PosiFlush 3-mL Syringe has the same diameter as a standard 10-mL syringe, it generates less pressure than smaller diameter syringes and reduces the risk of catheter damage.1

BD PosiFlush Prefilled Saline Syringes are sterilised using moist heat, which eliminates microorganisms.Tests are performed at the end of each production cycle to ensure each syringe is ready to be used for effective patient care.
