The Orchid Safety Release Valve™ or Orchid SRV™ connects via standard luer-locking connection, allowing flow during IV therapy. The Orchid SRV™ is designed to allow the device to separate into two halves when longitudinal tension exceeds the SRV tension window (between 1-4.2 lbf), automatically closing the flow path to both IV extension set and IV administration set. Following separation, a component of the Orchid SRV™ is left attached to each side of the infusion system to protect the intraluminal pathway. Upon separation, replacement of the SRV™ is necessary. Follow institutional policy to replace the SRV™, or at least every seven (7) days.

SafeBreak Vascular is a Force-Activated Separation Device. It is intended to separate when excessive tension is exerted across a peripheral IV administration set. When SafeBreak Vascular separates, fluid flow is stopped from the infusion pump and blood flow is stopped from the patient’s IV catheter.SafeBreak Vascular is intended to aid in reduction of peripheral IV mechanical complications requiring IV replacement.SafeBreak Vascular is intended to be used on peripheral IV catheters in adults and adolescent populations eighteen (18) years of age and older receiving intermittent or continuous infusions with an electronic pump.
