December 2023—BD launched its FDA 510(k)–cleared Pivo Pro needle-free blood collection device, which is compatible with integrated and long peripheral IV catheters, including the Nexiva closed IV catheter system with NearPort IV Access. This expands current Pivo compatibility with short peripheral IV catheters.
BD says the new solution combines the clinical benefits shown for the integrated closed Nexiva catheter system, including longer dwell times and reduced catheter complications, with the ability to draw high-quality blood samples directly from a patient’s peripheral IV line with Pivo Pro, reducing the need for additional needlesticks.
