    This study compared three needleless systems, finding a closed, non-mechanical unit safest and most cost-effective. This system requires minimal training and offers significant savings for healthcare facilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Healthcare Technology
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Needleless IV connectors are crucial for preventing needlestick injuries and bloodstream infections.
    • Evaluating the usability and cost-effectiveness of different needleless systems is essential for optimal clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the general usability and cost of three distinct needleless intravenous (IV) connector systems.
    • To identify the most suitable needleless system based on safety, ease of use, and economic factors.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative analysis of three needleless IV connector systems was conducted.
    • Usability was assessed through general evaluation, and safety was tested in both peripheral and central venous access devices.
    • Cost analysis was performed to determine economic benefits.

    Main Results:

    • A closed, one-piece, non-mechanical needleless system demonstrated superior safety across peripheral and central lines.
    • This selected system required minimal inservicing for healthcare personnel.
    • Significant cost savings were identified compared to other evaluated systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The closed, one-piece, non-mechanical needleless system is a safe, user-friendly, and cost-effective option for IV therapy.
    • Implementation of this system can enhance patient safety and reduce healthcare expenditures.
    • Minimal training requirements facilitate widespread adoption in clinical settings.
