Inclusion criteria

  1. ≥18 years of age;
  2. Inpatient with a need for intravenous infusion for an expected period of more than 4 days but no more than 28 days;
  3. The veins in the upper limbs is suitable for puncture and catheterization of both the investigational device and the control device;
  4. Willing to provide written Informed Consent and complete the study per the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Coagulation disorder or active bleeding;
  2. Skin injury, infection, or dermatosis at the site to be punctured;
  3. History of radiotherapy, thrombosis, or vascular surgery; arteriovenous fistula or phlebitis history at the area and/or vein to be catheterized;
  4. History of mental illness;
  5. End stage renal disease requires vein protection;
  6. Conditions with decreased venous flow in the extremity, such as lymphedema of the arm, etc.;
  7. Infusions of vesicant or irritant drugs, hyperosmotic infusate (the osmotic pressure >900mOsm/L in this study), parenteral nutrition, etc., which are not suitable for peripheral intravenous infusion (If other appropriate venous access is established for the aforementioned infusates, the patient may be enrolled).
  8. The evaluation of the upper limb veins is Grade II, the evaluation grade is as following:

    • 0 Veins are obviously bulged on the skin surface. The veins are touchable, thick, straight, soft, elastic and fixed.
    • I Veins are relatively full and faintly touchable. The veins are less elastic or slide easily.
    • II Veins are not full or collapsed and untouchable. The veins are hard or sliding. Phlebitis.
  9. Self-reported being pregnant or lactating;
  10. Other conditions that the investigator considers improper for the study;
  11. Participating in another study or already enrolled.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Acceptance of the overall performance of the IV catheter system

    After the placement of the IV catheter system, the study nurse shall answer "yes/no" to the following questions: 1. Can the IV catheter system vent the air properly; 2. Can the IV catheter system be inserted and be placed in the blood vessel; 3. Can the needle tube be withdrawn from the septum; After the removal of the IV catheter system, the study nurse shall answer "yes/no" to the following questions: 4. Can the IV catheter system be removed properly; 5. There is no leakage during the application of the IV catheter system (including the processes of venting, infusion, flushing and sealing, and indwelling).

    Time frame: up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success rate of the first insertion of the catheter

    Successful first insertion means the IV catheter system can be successfully inserted into the blood vessel on the first insertion.

    Time frame: First day, during catheter insertion

  2. Indwelling time

    The retention time of the IV catheter system of each subject after successful insertion.

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  3. Rate of good performance of the pinch clamp

    If the pinch clamp can close and open the tubing properly, performance of the pinch clamp can be evaluated as "good".

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  4. Incidence of catheter blockage

    The catheter system is blocked, causing the system to fail to infuse the fluid after it is connected to the infusion set/syringe.

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  5. Incidence of accidental dislodgement

    Unintentional premature removal of the catheter from the vessel.

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  6. Incidence of phlebitis

    Incidence of phlebitis

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  7. Incidence of adverse events

    Incidence of adverse events

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  8. Incidence of serious adverse events

    Incidence of serious adverse events

    Time frame: up to 28 days
