NRFit™ Connection
Misconnections can have devastating consequences – from permanent nerve injury1 to paraplegia2,3, and even death4,5. Just one of these errors is simply one too many. That’s why the International Standards Organization developed ISO 80369-6, a new design standard that requires neuraxial device connector tips to be incompatible with small-bore connectors used in other applications.
BD® now offers a portfolio of NRFit™ ISO 80369-6 compliant devices, from medication preparation to delivery. And our high-caliber manufacturing quality, service and support come with each and every one.
