Safe-T-Centesis ®
and
Safe-T-Centesis PLUS
catheter drainage system
Innovations in patient safety, clinician safety
and procedural efficacy.

Safe-T-Centesis catheter drainage system
This innovative drainage system is designed to reduce the risks associated with normal percutaneous needle
placements and enhance patient comfort and procedural flexibility.
Visual color indicator
Transitions to red when sharp distal tip
is exposed and returns to “Safe-White”
when spring-loaded obturator is
automatically extended, presenting
an atraumatic front to injury.
Self-sealing valve
Maintains closed system or allows for reinsertion of
introducer needle or guide wire for procedures not
requiring maintenance of a closed system.
Silicone coating
Allows for smooth percutaneous insertion while
minimizing potential for “accordion” effect and
reducing tissue trauma.
Pigtail catheter
Self-directing and occlusion-resistant.
Centimeter depth markings
Reliable reference for safe catheter placement
with 16 cm of usable catheter length.
Catheter modularity
For procedures not requiring maintenance of a closed
system, the luer lock connection allows convenient
removal of pigtail catheter from valve assembly.
Minimally invasive 6 Fr or 8 Fr size
Remote stopcock
Provides procedural convenience and
safety by facilitating connection to
drainage/extension sets while minimizing
inadvertent device or catheter movement.
Veress technology duallumen
blunt obturator
Provides patient protection from
perforations and user protection
from needlestick injuries.

Innovations for patient safety and procedural efficacy
Our combination of unique features provides patient protection from
perforations and clinician protection from needlestick injuries.

Diagram A
1. The color change indicator confirms
“Safe-White” when the blunted obturator
is extended over the sharp distal tip.
2. Prior to initial anatomical contact or
when the distal tip of the device clears an
anatomical obstruction or enters a free
cavity, the spring-loaded obturator will
automatically advance forward, providing
protection against patient injury.
Diagram B
3. The color change indicator informs
the user of anatomical contact by
transitioning from “Safe-White” to
“Caution-Red.”
4. The blunted obturator automatically
retracts upon contact with an anatomical
structure, exposing the sharp distal tip
and allowing needle advancement.

Pigtail catheter
• Pigtail shape for secure placement and
anatomically assisted self-direction
• Occlusion-resistant, with four ports
strategically placed on inside apex
of pigtail
• Silicone coated for smooth insertion and
minimal potential for “accordion” effect
Self-sealing valve
• Closed system for minimized risk of
pneumothorax or leakage
• The resealing membrane within the
valve system allows the safety introducer
needle assembly to be reinserted
(for procedures not requiring maintenance
of a closed system)
• Compatible with 0.035 and 0.038 guide
wires to clear occlusions or expand
your procedural capabilities beyond the
percutaneous realm
(for procedures not requiring maintenance
of a closed system)

Safe-T-Centesis PLUS catheter drainage system
Our pigtail catheter drainage system is also available in a Safe-T
PLUS tray, designed to help you comply
with today’s safety requirements and recommendations.

Preventable medical error reduction
2006 National Patient Safety Goals
Label all medications, medication containers or other solutions on and off the sterile field. 1
2003 National Patient Safety Goals
Universal protocol to prevent wrong site, procedure or surgery, including “Time Out” immediately before starting
any surgical or invasive procedure, to conduct a final verification process to confirm the correct patient, procedure
and site using active not passive communication techniques. 2
Sharps safety
The CDC estimates that each year 385,000 needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries are sustained by hospitalbased
healthcare personnel; an average of 1,000 sharps injuries per day. 3
Sharps injury prevention devices should include either sharps disposal containers and needles or other devices with
an integrated engineered sharps injury prevention feature. 4
2001 revision of Bloodborne Pathogens & Needlestick Prevention standards
Safer needle devices that reflect technology changes to eliminate or reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens. 5
Promote services and products that encompass the entire universe of safety products from modified sharps to
alternative products that actually eliminate the sharp. 6
Infection prevention
The CDC recognized that “In the United States, povidone iodine has been the most widely used antiseptic for
cleansing arterial catheter and CVC-insertion sites. However, in one study, preparation of central venous and arterial
sites with a 2% aqueous chlorhexdine gluconate lowered BSI rates compared with site preparation with 10%
povidone-iodine or 70% alcohol.” 7
Protecting 5 Million Lives From Harm
One goal of this campaign is to help prevent CRBSIs through implementing a set of five interventions known as the
“Central Line Bundle.” One of these is chlorhexidine skin antisepsis. 8
Another intervention recommended by IHI is maximal barrier precautions. 8
The CDC now recommends maximum sterile barrier precautions, including use of cap, mask, sterile gown, sterile
gloves and large sterile drape during the insertion of CVCs. These substantially reduce the incidence of CRBSI. 9

Safe-T PLUS components
Safe-T PLUS trays assist with compliance for preventable medical error reduction,
sharps safety and infection prevention, and feature these safety components:
1. Medication labels and fine tip marker can be used on syringes, medication cups or basins to identify
medications being used on the sterile field. The waterproof label helps eliminate concerns if there is a spill
on the sterile field.
2. Time out label is designed to prompt the user to verify the Correct Patient, Correct Site and Correct Procedure.
Since this label is also a sticker, it allows the user to place a completed label in the patient chart for good record
keeping practices.
3. BD SafetyGlide needle with BD Activation-Assist
technology allows for fast and easy, single-handed
needle shielding. It can help prevent needlestick injuries by allowing easy and secure shielding of the needle
tip immediately after injection.
4. BD Bard-Parker protected disposable scalpel with quality stainless-steel blades and safety engineering
delivers performance without compromise to technique. They are designed with the handling and feel that
clinicians prefer, with simple one-handed activation and protection before and after use. In addition, they help
your facility to comply with OSHA and federal safety legislation.
5. Filter Straw particulate matter filter allows the user to access medication contained in an ampoule while
filtering out glass particles that may have entered during opening.
6. Needle foam stop is designed for added sharps safety (in addition to the Poink-Lok device).
7. ChloraPrep solution is a rapid-acting, broad spectrum and persistent patient preoperative skin preparation
in a single-use sterile applicator. ChloraPrep solution combines 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and 70%
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in a patented applicator for a proven system that supports infection control guidelines to
help reduce the incidence of surgical site infections. Hi-Lite Orange tint provides visual marker of prepped site.
8. Facial protection with a comfortable, easy to don, one-size fits all mask. Allows the user to exercise barrier
precautions during a procedure.
