BD Infusate Companion 1.0.1

When evaluating a vascular access device, it is essential to take into account not only the specific infusates but also the potential complications associated with infusion. Possible complications may include thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, phlebitis, necrosis resulting from extravasation of a vesicant drug, and localized pain or redness during the infusion process.

The BD Infusate Consideration Companion (ICC) proves to be a valuable tool for healthcare professionals, assisting in the identification of medications that may not be compatible with peripheral administration. Preservation of peripheral veins and the minimization of patient harm should serve as critical factors in the selection of an appropriate vascular access device.

Selecting the right device is a pivotal responsibility for clinicians, impacting both patient safety and treatment efficacy. It is important to note that the materials presented are intended solely for informational purposes and should not replace clinical judgment.
