To judge the quality and value of the Q-FLO™ technology, you can study the features and benefits, study the marketing materials, look at the standards it meets and exceeds, and review the Infusion Innovations team behind it all.

But the most important validation of the value of the product comes from customers. 

The following short video shares a customer's viewpoint as he explains why the Q-FLO™ connector is a game-changer. 
"What we love about Q-FLO!"
We switched to Q-FLO for all our Closed System Transfer Devices about 10 weeks ago to compound and administer hazardous drugs at our busy 20-chair facility.

We love the ease of use, the audible and visual confirmation when the device opens or closes.

We were experiencing regular detachment of the previous products we used, which created considerable concern amongst both clients' nurses technicians and our pharmacy staff.

We are fully committed to USP 797 and USP 800. Our absolute priority is the safety of our staff and our patients. Q-FLO provides this comfort.

We have had no detachments or potential spills, and the staff loves the way the product works and performs.

Q-FLO delivers all of the metrics we seek: Safety, easy-to-use, and superior in its performance with zero residual drug in the device.

WHAT CUSTOMERS LIKE ABOUT THE BREAKTHROUGH q-fLO™​ CONNECTOR

  • One device, not many
  • Fully USP 800 and USP 797 compliant
  • Easy to use
  • The audible and visual clues for when fluid path is open or closed
  • Universally compatible will all tubes and apparatuses used
  • Far more reliable than previously used connectors

Why is the Q-FLO™ connector so badly needed today?
Repeated exposure to chemotherapy and other toxic drugs through spills or vapor can cause serious long-term damage to healthworker health.

​A spill can be as small as a tiny drop of drug--even microscopic--and still cause great damage.

But what's the actual risk? What is USP 800? And how does USP 800 protect your company?

The following 6-minute video answers these questions:

USP 800/USP 797

On December 1, 2019, the US government health agencies mandated the use of Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTD) to protect healthworkers who work with hazardous drugs.

USP 800 is for bedside and administration, and USP 797 is for pharmacists.

What's your best course of action to protect your company and your employees?
The only way to fully protect healthworkers and pharmacists from exposure to hazardous drugs is to ensure that the drug they're working with cannot enter their body in any way.

The new Q-FLO™ connector does just that in a way that makes it easy to work with.

What is the full range of solutions offered?
The Q-FLO™ products incorporate quality components and tubing with the Q-FLO™ and/or the X-Needleless IV Connector bonded during manufacturing.

These products and sets eliminate the potential for accidental disconnects during the hazardous drug preparations and administrations.

Complete and ready-to-go, these  packaged products are cost-effective compared to self-assembly and reduce set-up time for both pharmacists and healthworkers.
Q-FLO™ Syringe Family
Q-FLO™​ SYRINGES are available in 1ml, 3ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, and 50/60ml sizes for HD drug preparation as well as IV push administrations.
Q-FLO™ Secondary IV Sets
​Q-FLO™ Secondary IV Sets are available with a bag spike, drip chamber with built-in X-Needleless IV Connector ADD-Port and Q-FLO™. Secondary IV Sets with these components and a 0.2 micron filter is also available.
Vial Access Devices
Vial Access Devices are available for hazardous drug preparation. These are equipped with the X-Needleless IV Connector, CAP for 13mm, 20mm, 28mm top Vials, and a bladder designed to capture vapors displaced during hazardous drug reconstitution. ​Vial Access Devices are also available for diluent/non-hazardous Drugs.

What if the Q-FLO™ CSTD could create a permanent connection?
Q-LOC™ is a Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) that consists of a Male Luer Connector that is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, and single-use device.

It enables healthcare professionals to handle fluids, including hazardous materials, such as chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, and blood products when used in conjunction
with a compatible female luer connector. This includes the preparation and administration
of hazardous drugs.

Building off the unique Q-FLO™ design and technology, Q-LOC™ has the added benefit of once attached to a separate device and the cap is removed, the Q-LOC™  “spins” and cannot be detached. This provides a permanent connection.

This additional feature provides further safety to the healthcare worker while also allowing greater flexibility in devices that it can be attached to as it does not need to be bonded to a device. 

This saves significant time and money.
​
Q-LOC™,  like Q-FLO™, is universal in the systems / female leur devices it can be bonded to.
