Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• 1. Age >or equal to 18, no limitation on gender; 2. Hospitalized patients; 3. Patients who are anticipated to need or have in situ vascular access catheter devices (This may include: Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIVC), Central Venous Catheter (such as peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)); 4. Patients who are expected to require flushing the vascular access catheter with saline at the beginning, during, or end of infusion therapy, or who require to flush and/or lock vascular access catheters at the beginning, during, the end of drug therapy; 5. Patients who can understand the purpose of the trial, agree to participate in this clinical trial and voluntarily sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. Patient reports pregnancy or lactation (self-report); 2. Subjects who are known to have blockage or recanalization of vascular access prior to this trial.

  3. Subjects who are known to have uncomfortable symptoms such as redness and pain, or common complication associated with indwelling catheter such as phlebitis and infection at the localized insertion site prior to this trial.

  4. Patient participating in another drug or medical device clinical trial at the time of consent or has participated in a drug or medical device clinical trial within three months before enrollment; 5.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
the overall performance for flushing and / or locking the catheters.	Composite score using a 5-question nurse survey: Can air in the BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes be expelled successfully?; Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes connected to the catheter smoothly?; Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes flush and /or lock the catheter successfully?; Can BD Pre-filled Flush Syringes disconnect from the catheters smoothly?; Any leakage observed at any part of the Flush syringe at any time during the usage? Overall performance for locking and flushing the catheter deemed as "success" if Question 1 to 4 answered with "YES", and question 5 answered with "NO".	immediately after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Device ease of use	Nurse questionnaire: 1) Is the plunger easy to push forward when flushing or locking?	immediately after treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events	Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events	1 hour after treatment
