| Can we use needles with the CLC2000®? |
| The CLC2000® is the only system that is completely incompatible with the use of needles and caps. It is a better system since it succeeds in reducing the risk of accidental inoculation by preventing the use of needles. The CLC2000® can only be actived with a male Luer, NEVER with a needle. |
| |
| Can we use the CLC2000® with all Luer? |
| Yes, provided that the connectors are ISO Luer Lock or ISO Luer Slip (99% of the connectors on the market are of this type). It connects to all female Luer connectors (lines, catheters, valves, extensions, etc.). |
| |
| When should I change the CLC2000®? |
| The CLC2000® change shall be according to each institution's protocols. In bacteriological studies, the CLC2000® has been shown to stay sealed after 1,000 activations during 10 days. |
| |
| Can I use a plug with the CLC2000®? |
| The CLC2000® does not require caps. In addition, a cap may leave the seal opened and prevent proper functioning. The CLC2000® is impermeable to air and water. |
| |
| What can I use to clean the CLC2000®? |
| The CLC2000® has been proven to be totally compatible with povidone-iodine, isopropyl alcohol, Betadine and chlorhexidine. |
| |
| Do we need to flush the CLC2000® after an extraction or infusion? |
| Let's always follow the hospital protocol. It is highly recommended that the CLC2000® be flushed after an infusion or an extraction. |
| |
| Does the CLC2000® get effectively flushed after an infusion of blood? |
| Flushing with saline solution after an extraction or infusion of blood is highly effective in the CLC2000®. |
