Overview

The first and only all-in-one scrub and flush solution

With an active disinfection unit built into the tip of the syringe, the all-in-one BD PosiFlush™ SafeScrub Prefilled Saline Flush Syringe is demonstrated to significantly reduce microbial growth associated with potentially serious CRBSIs.*

Giving you one more tool to protect your patients and one less thing to worry about.

*In vitro test results may not be predictive of clinical performance. Demonstrated reduction of the most common causative agents of CRBSI including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Candida glabrata and Candida albicans.

Benefits

  • Many high-touch surfaces hospital surfaces harbored microbes and increased the risk of infection, contaminating as many as 45% of needle-free connectors1,2

  • While the guidelines are clear on the importance of scrubbing the hub before every access, inadequate IV catheter disinfection has been directly linked to CRBSIs1

  • Hospitals are under tremendous pressure due to record nursing turnover and shortages, with 35.8% of hospitals in the United States reporting a nurse vacancy of greater than 10%3,4

  • Due to the influx of new nurses, there is a decline in the experience of the nursing workforce4

    We’re seeing an increase in preventable catheter-related infections

    Health care facilities are continuing to feel the burden from the pandemic with high rates of nursing turnover and shortages...At the same time, we’re seeing an increase in preventable catheter-related infections, which can be both dangerous to patients and costly for hospitals. It’s not easy to be a frontline caregiver right now. Nurses need efficient and effective solutions to help them advance IV catheter care while improving the safety of their patients.

    Risks of inadequate IV catheter disinfection

    While hub colonization is the strongest predictor of CRBSI, compliance to 'scrub the hub' disinfection guidelines is reported to be as low as 10%1
