What is it indicated for?

Extension Sets with the InterLink® Micro-Infusion Manifold are intended for use with a vascular access device for blood sampling and the administration of multiple drugs and solutions. These devices, like others containing the InterLink® injection site, are designed to reduce the risk of accidental needle sticks when used with the InterLink® cannula, as part of a “needleless” IV access system.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
