A vascular catheter flush syringe is a sterile, single-use device designed to clear and maintain the patency of vascular access catheters by delivering a controlled flush of saline or low-dose heparin solution. It consists of a barrel and plunger mechanism prefilled with the flush solution and is used directly on indwelling IV access devices to prevent occlusion.
This category of device is regulated as a single-use medical device intended for flushing vascular catheters in situ, not for reconstituting drugs, diluting medications, or administering IV therapy. It is supplied prefilled and sterile, and its use is limited to maintaining catheter patency rather than delivering therapeutic infusions.
