Inclusion criteria

  • 1. Age >or equal to 18, no limitation on gender; 2. Hospitalized patients; 3. Patients who are anticipated to need or have in situ vascular access catheter devices (This may include: Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIVC), Central Venous Catheter (such as peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)); 4. Patients who are expected to require flushing the vascular access catheter with saline at the beginning, during, or end of infusion therapy, or who require to flush and/or lock vascular access catheters at the beginning, during, the end of drug therapy; 5. Patients who can understand the purpose of the trial, agree to participate in this clinical trial and voluntarily sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Patient reports pregnancy or lactation (self-report); 2. Subjects who are known to have blockage or recanalization of vascular access prior to this trial.

    3. Subjects who are known to have uncomfortable symptoms such as redness and pain, or common complication associated with indwelling catheter such as phlebitis and infection at the localized insertion site prior to this trial.

    4. Patient participating in another drug or medical device clinical trial at the time of consent or has participated in a drug or medical device clinical trial within three months before enrollment; 5. Any other situation that, in the option of the Investigator would make the patient considered unfit for this study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. the Overall Performance for Flushing and / or Locking the Catheters.

    Evaluation method: Overall performance is assessed by a Nurse, who need to answer the following questions: 1. Can air in the BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes be expelled successfully? 2. Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes be connected to the catheter smoothly? 3. Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes flush and /or lock the catheter successfully? 4. Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes disconnect from the catheters smoothly? 5. Any leakage observed at any part of the Flush syringe at any time during the usage? Overall performance for flushing and/or locking the catheter is only considered as "success" if: Question 1 to 4 answered with "YES", and question 5 answered with "NO".

    Time frame: one hour after treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Device Ease of Use

    Nurse questionnaire: 1\) Is the plunger easy to push forward when flushing or locking? Score on a 5-point scale: '3' means easy

    Time frame: one hour after treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    Number of adverse events, Incidence of serious adverse events

    Time frame: 1 hour after treatment
