These New Connectors Help Prevent
Medication Errors
For decades, Luer has served as the standard small-bore
connector for virtually all medical applications, including
vascular, enteral, respiratory, epidural, and intrathecal.
Unfortunately, the universality of Luer meant that devices that
were never intended to be connected were, allowing fatal
wrong route administration of fluids and gases. Now there's a
safer way: B. Braun NRFit connectors. Compliant with new ISO
guidelines, the NRFit's unique design for epidural, spinal and
peripheral nerve blocks will reduce the risk of misconnections
and improve patient safety. To learn more about NRFit and the
upcoming ISO standards, visit www.stayconnected.orgtarget.
