ICU MEDICAL CH2000-C Spiros Closed Male Connector

The ICU MEDICAL CH2000-C is a Spiros™ Closed Male Luer connector, a key component in a needle-free closed system transfer device (CSTD). This connector is designed for safe and efficient connection to syringes or administration sets, particularly in the handling of hazardous drugs, but also broadly used in IV therapy to enhance safety and prevent contamination.

Key features and benefits of the CH2000-C Spiros connector include:

• Closed System: It automatically creates a needle-free, mechanically and microbiologically closed system, preventing the escape of hazardous drug vapors or leaks into the environment and the ingress of microorganisms into the fluid path. This is crucial for compliance with various safe handling guidelines (e.g., OSHA, NIOSH, USP <797>, USP <800>).
• Needle-Free: Eliminates the use of needles for drug mixing, transfer, administration, and disposal, ensuring compliance with needle-free policies and reducing needle stick injuries.
• Safety and Reliability: The Spiros is designed to prevent accidental disconnections, minimizing medication errors and potential harm to patients and healthcare workers. It is self-sealing when disconnected.
• Ease of Use: Features a user-friendly design that allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection.
• Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with all ISO Standard needle-free connector technologies, though some specific incompatibilities with certain connector brands have been noted (e.g., BD NeutraClear).
• Material: Made from high-quality materials, including polycarbonate, and is latex-free and DEHP-free.
• Red Cap: This specific CH2000-C model typically comes with a red cap for easy identification.

This connector is disposable and is supplied in cases of 50 units. It’s suitable for a wide range of medical settings, particularly those involved in oncology and critical care, where the safe handling of fluids and medications is paramount.
