The MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy for the vascular anatomy appropriateness for the solution being administered and duration of the therapy. # Description of the Device: The MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter is a medical device used for inserting a catheter into a patient's body for purpose of delivery of fluids or drainage of fluids from the patient's body. The device is equipped with a safety feature intended to prevent needle stick injuries. This device is engineered to protect healthcare workers using it against accidental needle stick injury and exposure to parts of the device that have come in contact with patient's blood or other body fluids, and have hence been potentially contaminated with infectious agents. In addition this device also secures the needle (used to insert the catheter) in an enclosed chamber, thus protecting healthcare and other personnel from exposure to patient body fluids after the device has been discarded postuse. {4}------------------------------------------------ The MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter is comprised of the following components: protective needle cover, color-coded catheter hub, radiopaque catheter tube, catheter holder, needle guide, medical grade stainless steel needle hub, porous plug and gauge chamber. The components combine for an ergonomic design that incorporate a safety feature that when the device is withdrawn, the needle is completely enclosed within the chamber. The retraction mechanism is activated by the user using only one hand by means of a sliding motion. The device is available in six gauges identified also by specific colors. | Part Number | Model Description | Color | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|--------| | MS-84114 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 14 Gauge | Orange | | MS-84116 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 16 Gauge | Gray | | MS-84118 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 18 Gauge | Green | | MS-841182 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 18 Gauge | Green | | MS-84120 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 20 Gauge | Pink | | MS-841202 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 20 Gauge | Pink | | MS-84122 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 22 Gauge | Blue | | MS-84124 | MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter 24 Gauge | Yellow | Predicate Device Comparison: The MedSource ClearSafe Safety IV Catheter is substantially equivalent the MedSource Safety Catheter (K131555).
