Description
BD PhaSeal™ Optima System Connector C35-O
The BD PhaSeal™ Optima System Connector, C35-O, is a component of the BD PhaSeal™ Optima closed system drug-transfer device (CSTD) platform designed to help reduce exposure to hazardous drugs during preparation and administration. Used within IV solutions workflows, the connector supports secure, leak-resistant connections between compatible components, helping maintain a closed pathway during fluid transfer. The C35-O connector is intended to be used as part of the complete BD PhaSeal™ Optima System and is not a stand-alone device; proper selection and use depend on facility protocol, drug labeling, and applicable guidelines.
Built for use in clinical environments where consistent connection performance matters, the C35-O connector is engineered to promote reliable engagement with mating PhaSeal™ Optima components. By supporting a closed transfer process, it assists in limiting the escape of drug vapor or aerosol and the ingress of environmental contaminants, helping protect both healthcare personnel and the sterile pathway when used as directed. The connector is designed to integrate into established IV compounding and administration processes while supporting standardized connection steps.
Key Features
- Part of the BD PhaSeal™ Optima closed system drug-transfer device (CSTD) family
- Designed to support closed, secure connections during IV drug transfer and handling
- Helps reduce the potential for leakage and disconnection when used with compatible system components
- Supports workflow consistency by enabling repeatable connection steps within the system
- Intended for healthcare settings managing hazardous or sensitive IV medications
Intended Use in IV Solutions
The C35-O connector is used within IV solutions processes where medications are transferred, prepared, or administered using compatible BD PhaSeal™ Optima components. When incorporated into a closed system setup, it helps maintain a controlled transfer pathway. This is especially relevant for facilities seeking to enhance engineering controls alongside established safe handling procedures. Always follow the instructions for use (IFU) for the BD PhaSeal™ Optima System and the medication being prepared or administered.
Compatibility and System Integration
The connector is designed for use with designated BD PhaSeal™ Optima System components. Compatibility can vary by configuration, so confirm the appropriate pairing for your application prior to use. Use only components specified by BD for the Optima platform to support expected performance. Substituting non-system parts or using damaged components may compromise closed-system performance.
