Akshar Pharma

aim at ZERO is a new campaign designed by Vygon to help hospitals win the fight against Hospital-Acquired Infections in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. This initiative provides infection reduction solutions at key stages of IV therapy: during the preparation phase, during the insertion of the line and during the infusion. Each product solution has been specially designed for the neonates, based on international recommendations and is supported by both clinical studies and data.

Octopus 3 with Bionector is a polyurethane, transparent, supple multi-lumen extension tube for IV catheters (peripheral or central venous). Octopus 5 code 842.514 is a 5-lumen extension tube with a clamp on each lumen, 5 Bionector and 4 non-return valves. The extension tube without non-return valve (with blue clamp) allows blood sampling.

Octopus is a polyurethane multi-lumen extension tube for I.V. catheters, transparent and with low priming volume.

To identify the different infusion lines, each tube has a clamp of different colour.

Octopus allows, in some cases, to avoid the use of stopcocks or ramps of stopcocks.

Autoflush connected to the proximal hubs of the Octopus is a multi-purpose, closed, disinfectable needleless access device for blood sampling, intermittent injections or continuous infusion of fluids or drugs.

When a syringe or any device featuring a male Luer or male Luer-lock end is disconnected from Autoflush, a positive bolus of 0.03 ml is injected which maintains catheter patency.

The non-return valves prevent any backtracking of fluids or drugs when different infusions are running simultaneously.

I.V. extension tube in flexible, transparent polyurethane tubing with Bionector TKO and mini Roberts clamp.

Octopus with Bionector TKO is a multi-purpose catheter accessory, a single lumen I.V. extension tube with needleless connector, enabling intermittent injections or continuous infusions of fluids or medications and blood sampling.

Octopus with Bionector TKO is a needleless catheter patency device that has been specifically designed to reduce thrombotic catheter occlusions and works by controlling the bi-directional flow of fluid, infusate and catheter tip blood reflux.

Octopus with Bionector TKO has a very easily disinfectable membrane (disinfection must be carried out before and after use) which closes automatically when the infusion line or the syringe is disconnected.

The proximal end of Octopus with Bionector TKO is a female Luer-Lock fitting and will accept any device featuring a male Luer or male Luer-Lock fitting (syringe, infusion set ...).

Octopus with Bionector TKO features a male connector with mobile locking device to connect it to all devices featuring a female Luer-Lock hub (IV catheter…).

Octopus with Bionector TKO has the following advantages:

- Prevents occlusion risks from

. syringe and infusion set disconnection

. syringe plunger rebound

. IV bag running dry

. venous pressure changes (cough…)

- Eliminates the risk of access-associated needle-stick injury

- Reduces the risk of cannula movement in the vein causing mechanical vein irritation

- Provides closed system (avoiding blood reflux) when accessing the catheter

- PUR material (no PVC, DEHP-free), no leaching of plasticizers.

Octopus with Bionector TKO is lipid-resistant.

Priming volume : 0.75 ml.

Maximum infusion/injection pressure is 240 psi (16.5 bar).

Bionector can be disinfected with most of the antiseptic solutions (example: 70% alcohol). Avoid using antiseptic containing both alcohol and oxygenated water.

PE-lined PVC (PE-EVA-PVC) IV catheter extension tube with the following features:

- CT-rated: maximum infusion/injection pressure is 350 psi (24 bar)

- Flexibility and transparency thanks to PVC.

- Chemical inertia (limiting drug adsorption/absorption of infused solutions) thanks to the inner layer in PE.

This extension tube includes a clamp and features a male Luer-lock hub and a female Luer-lock hub with a Bionector.

Used for peripheral cannula care, Octopus 1 with Bionector has the following advantages:

- Eliminates the risk of access-associated needle-stick injury.

- Reduces the risk of cannula movement in the vein causing mechanical vein irritation, when used with a peripheral short IV cannula. When connected, the constraint is not transmitted to the catheter because of the absorption of the force by the extension tube.

- Provides closed system (avoiding blood reflux) when accessing the catheter.

- Material (DEHP-free - no release of softeners).

Bionector can be disinfected with most of the antiseptic solutions (example: 70% alcohol). Avoid using antiseptic containing both alcohol and oxygenated water.

For more information about Bionector, please refer to technical file code 896.

The benefits of Octopus 841.361

ACCURATE
Three lumen 10 cm extension tubes with an internal diameter offering excellent accuracy for administration.

CHEMICALLY INERT
The Octopus tubing is made of polyurethane: reduced risk of drug adsorption/absorption; no release of plasticizers.

PRACTICAL
Obturator caps are supplied to close and protect the female Luer-lock ports when not in use.

PREVENTS DRUG INTERACTIONS
Medications do not mix until they arrive in the cannula, thereby preventing drug interactions.

SECURITY
Proximal non-return valves prevent backtracking and accidental bolus delivery.

PREVENTS CONFUSION
A different colour code is used for each lumen.

Plain paediatric endotracheal tubes code 520.xx are designed as follows: – Green tube with radiopaque line in extra-soft PVC. The distal end of the tube is bevelled ot 37°.

Biovystar / Vystar ramp of stopcocks is an add-on device for intravenous catheters comprising:

a body molded in a lipid-resistant raw material (polycarbonate) and transparent to detect air bubbles to facilitate the priming of the device.

stopcocks in polyoxymethylene (POM), each stopcock having a different colour.

Pressure tested to 2 bars during 15 minutes meeting the requirements of the ISO norm 8536-10.

The extension tube supplied with Biovystar / Vystar ramps (except code 5828.92: without extension tube) is made of 3 layers. The outer layer is in PVC, the inner layer is in Polyethylene without additives, material presenting a high chemical inertness and the intermediate layer is Ethyl Vinyl Acetate, material linking the inner and the outer layers.

This structure allows to minimize interations with drugs and leaching of plasticizers from the PVC into the administered solutions.

Some models of Biovystar / Vystar ramps are supplied with Bionector or Vadsite which are multi-purpose, closed, needle-free connectors allowing blood sampling, intermittent injections or continuous infusions of fluids or drugs.

Octopus is a polyurethane multi-lumen extension tube for I.V. catheters, transparent and with low priming volume.

To identify the different infusion lines, each tube has a clamp of different colour.

Octopus 2 (code 841.234) is a 2-lumen extension tube with a clamp (Roberts type) on each lumen. Length: 3cm / 3cm.

This product is recommended for neonatal and paediatric units which need to run two IV infusions simultaneously.Specifications
