What is a Needle Free Connector (NFC)?

Accepted Answer

It's a small IV Access Device attached to IV lines that helps maintain a closed system and lowers the risk of infection.

Question 2

What are the Differences Between Lily's Needleless Connector G1, Needleless Connector G2, and Needleless Connector G3?

Accepted Answer

G1 - Negative pressure connector with high flow rate, suitable for general infusion, blood, and lipid applications
G2 - Neutral pressure connector with lower reflux and lower dead space, designed for safer routine IV therapy
G3 - Neutral pressure connector with ultra low priming volume and minimal reflux, ideal for ICU, pediatric, and precise drug delivery applications

Question 3

Is Lily's Needle Free Connector Compliant With ISO 80369-7?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our needless connector meets ISO 80369-7 requirements and is compatible with third party IV devices.

Question 4

Why is Polycarbonate Chosen as the Housing Material for Needlefree Device?

Accepted Answer

Because it offers excellent chemical resistance and is designed for broad compatibility with IV solutions, including lipid emulsions.

Question 5

Why is the Lipid Resistant Feature of a Needle-free Connector Important for Tpn (Total Parenteral Nutrition) or Lipid Infusions?

Accepted Answer

It supports stable flow performance and helps maintain long term catheter patency in lipid infusion applications.

Question 6

How Does Dead Space in a Needle-free Connector Affect Flushing Efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Our low dead space design improves flushing efficiency by minimizing fluid residuals, and help reduce the risk of microbial contamination.

Question 7

How Much Blood Reflux Does Lily's Mechanical Valve Generate?

Accepted Answer

With a reflux volume of only 0.001 mL, our needleless connector G3 helps minimize blood reflux and supports reduced CRBSI risk.

Question 8

Why are Transparent Luer Activated Device (LAD) Used in Clinical Settings?

Accepted Answer

Its transparent housing allows quick visual inspection of the fluid path, helping clinicians identify blood residue, air bubbles, or contamination for improved patient safety.

Question 9

When Using High-pressure Injectors (Like CT Contrast), What Pressure Rating Should a Needle-free Connector Meet?

Accepted Answer

Our needleless connectors are rated up to 325 PSI, ensuring safe and reliable performance in high-pressure infusion applications without leakage or system failure.

Question 10

What are the Differences Between Sterile, Individually Packaged Needle-free Connectors and Bulk Non-sterile Supply?

Accepted Answer

Sterile single pack is preferred for clinical safety and convenience, while bulk supply offers better cost efficiency and manufacturing flexibility. Both options can be customized according to customer requirements.

Question 11

Why is the Flat Surface of a Needle Free Connector Important for Alcohol Disinfection By Healthcare Professionals?

Accepted Answer

Flat surface can directly affects how well nurses can disinfect the connector before access.

Question 12

Can Lily's Needle Free Connector Maintain Functional Performance After Repeated Activations?

Accepted Answer

Both our G2 and G3 needless connector have passed 600 activation tests through repeated use cycles.
