An estimated 90% of patients admitted to U.S. hospitals will receive an IV during treatment. Given the volume of IVs administered nationwide each year, providing a cost-effective vascular access device with reliable safety is central to MedSource Labs’ mission.
“Receiving 510(k) clearance from the FDA is a multi-year process to ensure reliability and clinician and patient safety,” said Rachel Sender, Sr. VP of Product Management. “We are proud to bring a new option to the vascular access device market in the U.S. healthcare industry.”
Features of the Passivo include:
- Sharp needles paired with gently tapered catheters that minimize force and trauma to the vein and skin
- A passive safety clip that automatically covers the needle tip upon withdrawal from the catheter
- A one-handed grip design that lets clinicians place IVs with a single-hand—freeing the other hand to steady the patient, secure tape, and begin immediate fluid administration
“For over a decade, we’ve offered active safety peripheral IV catheters, which utilize a safety mechanism the clinician activates manually,” said Todd Fagley, Founder/CEO of MedSource Labs. “Being able to provide an alternative with a passive safety mechanism that triggers automatically is a big win for our customers, who now have access to every major style of peripheral IV catheter available in the United States.”
