What is it indicated for?
The NFC Y-Site is for single patient use and intended for placement between the male Luer connection of a primary solution source and the patient's vascular access device. In this position, the y-site body provides unobstructed flow between the fluid source and the patient. The Needlefree side port of the y-site is swabbable and can be accessed multiple times using a male Luer for the purpose of administering general IV solutions or blood.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
