FlowArt Mini Spike for bag and vial access with Needle Free Valve.

FlowArt® mini spike with needleless valve is a single-use disposable connector designed to be securely attached to the septum tip of vials. The air can be vented to neutralise the fluid container pressure and is equiped with an integrated silicone seal that protects the patient and nursing staff from exposures as well as minimising the need for needle use and therefore needle stick injuries. It is used to exchange liquids from serum/drug vials and bags without using needles, and to keep the excess drug/serum in reusable vials. The product is latex and PVC free.

Research:

The prevalence of reported Needle Stick Injuries (NSIs) in Australia per year was estimated to be 18,000 in Australian hospitals alone before the introduction of Safety Engineered Devices (SEDs) [1-2]. Considering this number is only the reported incidences and underreporting in Australian hospitals is estimated to be 40%, [3] this is a significant hindrance in maintaining a safe work environment. There are a number of diseases that can be transmitted through NSI, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV).  The use of SEDs has been shown to reduce NSIs by up to 31% during a 9-month implementation period.
