Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the Site-Scrub* IPA Device, designed to disinfect injection ports and female luer hubs using a patent-pending friction scrub design. It emphasizes the device's efficacy in reducing microbial load significantly, which is crucial for preventing catheter line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI).
Indication for Use
The Site-Scrub* IPA Device is intended for disinfecting injection ports and female luer hubs. It should not be used on devices accessing the nervous system and should not be left on the hub after use.
Antimicrobial Efficacy
In vitro testing shows the device reduces microbial load by 99.999% (>5 Log10) for microbes associated with CLABSI. The device outperforms alcohol wipes and SwabCap* disinfection caps in efficacy and consistency.
Usage Instructions
1. Twist the device back and forth at least 8 times for a minimum of 10 seconds.
2. Remove and discard the device according to facility protocol.
3. Allow the hub to dry for at least 5 seconds.
Comparison with Other Products
The Site-Scrub* IPA Device is more effective than alcohol wipes and SwabCap* disinfection caps, achieving a higher and more consistent reduction in microbial load.
Compliance with Guidelines
The device helps comply with CDC and INS guidelines, which recommend using a friction scrub with an appropriate antiseptic to disinfect catheter hubs.
Ordering Information
Available in a 25-count IV Pole Mount and a box of 100 units.
Conclusion
The Site-Scrub* IPA Device offers a reliable and efficient method for disinfecting medical hubs, aligning with established health guidelines to minimize infection risks.

See the Difference Alcohol pad vs. Site-Scrub*IPA Device Disinfection of female luer hubs and needleless injection caps using an alcohol wipe and Site-Scrub* IPA Device The Site-Scrub* IPA device was tested at an independent testing laboratory versus an alcohol prep pad in an in vitro antimicrobial efficacy assay for disinfecting female luer hubs. The Site-Scrub* IPA device reduced on average 99.999% (> 5 Log10) of the viable microbes from the female luer surfaces, compared to only 28% (0.14 Log10) on average reduced by the IPA wipe.2 The Site-Scrub* IPA Device demonstrated less variability than...

Site-Scrub® IPA Device-4

Site-Scrub* IPA Device helps you comply with the CDC Guidelines and INS Standards of Practice that recommend the use of a friction scrub to disinfect catheter hubs. “Minimize contamination risk by scrubbing the access port with an appropriate antiseptic (chlorhexidine, povidone iodine, an iodophor, or 70% alcohol) and accessing the port only with sterile devices.” “The nurse should disinfect the ports of the add-on device using friction, with an appropriate disinfectant such as 70% alcohol before accessing. Specific guidelines directing the appropriate technique, disinfectant, or amount of time...
