The ChemoClave system is a microbiologically and mechanically closed system that is safe and easy to use during the entire hazardous drug handling process.

ChemoClave helps you keep healthcare workers safe and comply with OSHA, NIOSH, ASHP, ISOPP, ONS, APHON, and USP <797> safe-handling guidelines.

The Risk

The unsafe handling of hazardous drugs used to treat many forms of cancer has been recognized since the 1970s as a big health hazard to healthcare workers.

The prolonged exposure to hazardous drugs has been proven to cause hair loss, skin rashes, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects, and even leukemia or other forms of cancer in healthcare workers. Studies have shown that healthcare workers can be at risk of exposure to these drugs throughout their life cycle—from manufacturing and distribution to use in the clinical or home care environment and all the way through to waste disposal.

The Solution

In response to the well-documented risks associated with handling hazardous drugs, ICU Medical has developed the ChemoClave system, the world’s only needlefree closed system transfer device for the safe handling of hazardous drugs.

From		To		To		To
	Safe Preparation		Safe Transportation		Safe Administration		Safe Disposal
	ChemoClave is a microbiologically and mechanically closed needlefree system for the preparation of hazardous drugs to help you comply with recommended guidelines.		The easy-to-use ChemoClave system helps you prevent leaks and spills when transporting hazardous drugs.		With ChemoClave, you can eliminate needlestick injuries and reduce exposure to hazardous drugs during administration without changing standard protocols.		The ChemoClave system protects you and the environment by generating less biohazardous waste than any commercially available closed system transfer device.

Needlefree > Easy to Use > Less Waste > Lower Cost

• Needlefree design enhances safety by completely eliminating the possibility of hazardous needle sticks. Completely needlefree system assures compliance with safe handling policies.
• Easy to use system requires no cumbersome assembly of components and features automatic self-sealing technology.
• Less biohazardous waste than any commercially available closed system transfer device.
• Lower cost to implement than any other commercially available closed system transfer device.
