CLC2000 on PIV

At the hosp I just started working at uses CLC2000 on PIV's. Not being a peds nurse I"ve never done that before. No one can explain why. Is there a particular reason for this? I've only ever used on CVC's.

    Funny you should say that! When Our docs are putting in central lines, nobody knows anything about those "fancy blue connectors" that come in the kit, so they toss them and use Baxter Interlinks instead. CLC2000s are so much more effective at helping to keep the PIV patent than the Interlinks ever could be. Interlinks require that the slide clamp on the T-piece be closed AS the port is being flushed - which is virtually impossible to accomplish on a child who doesn't want you to touch them at all. CLC2000s take care of the positive-pressure-on-release for you so there's no backflow of blood into the hub so much less risk of occlusion. I'd be happy to use them if I had the choice!

    Finally found an article on medscape.

    It looks like it's a mechanical way to do what we as nurses should have been doing all along. Clamping while flushing. Or unscrewing the syring while flushing to keep blood out of the opening of the catheter.
