    Good morning,
    I did not receive any correspondence about this inquiry-however did email from my personal email not my work one.

    We are looking at the improvements in aseptic technique compliance and improved outcomes for patients if we can use the pre-filled saline syringes for flushing our Central venous access devices.
    We would like to know if any other Hospital group currently uses these and for which particular procedures they have been approved for. Also if the use of these have been restricted across any other procedures.

    Kind regards

    Jenny

    Hi Jenny

    We use pre-filled saline syringes for all of our IV saline flushes now, including when inserting and changing central lines and CVADs. We have a non-sterile outer pack and a sterile outer pack syringe, depending how the procedure is performed, to allow use on a sterile field.

    We have had no real issues with staff use and acceptance of these, and it certainly reduces risks of contamination in my view.

    Cheers
