SmartSite® Needle-Free System Instructions
DIRECTIONS - Use Aseptic Technique
1. Prior to every access, swab top of Needle-Free Valve port with 70% Isopropyl alcohol (1-2
seconds) and allow to dry (approximately 30 seconds).
NOTE: Dry time is dependent on temperature, humidity, ventilation of the area.
2. Prime valve port. If applicable, attach syringe to Needle-Free Valve port and aspirate minuscule
air bubbles.
3.
Replace every 72 hours for stand alone valves. However, if the valve is part of the set, then the set
change interval is as per the complete set or 100 activations which ever occurs first. For infusions
of blood, blood products or lipid emulsions replace infusion set every 24 hours.
NOTE: During use of Needle-Free Valve port, fluid may be observed between the housing and blue
piston. This fluid does not enter the fluid path and requires no action.
For product questions or needle-free valve educational materials contact your Cardinal
Health, Alaris® Products representative. The Center for Disease Control, Intravenous
Nurses Society (USA) and other organizations publish guidelines useful in developing
facility guidelines. Consult facility protocols.
