Positive displacement technology that provides an effective microbial barrier.

Closed positive displacement needlefree

technology designed to help you reduce the

risk of infection.

CLC2000®

Positive Displacement Connector

Clinical Benefits: > Proven to help reduce

catheter occlusions by reducing reflux upon disconnection of a luer.2

> Saline flush option allows you to reduce risks, costs, and time associated with Heparin use.3

> Avoid unnecessary costs associated with treating catheter occlusions.4-7

> Closed system helps reduce the risk of infection.

The CLC2000 helps maintain central line catheter patency by generating positive fluid displacement upon disconnection of a luer. This automatic positive fluid displacement helps reduce blood reflux, and reducing blood reflux has been clinically shown to help reduce occlusions.

3. When the accessing luer is

removed, the upper O-ring

seals off the fluid path and

lower O-ring moves the fluid

from the reservoir chamber

out through the catheter.

The problem – Blood Reflux

One important cause of catheter occlusion is blood reflux, or the back flow of blood into a catheter

lumen.1 Blood reflux can occur upon disconnection of an infusion device. This blood reflux can result in

the formation of an intraluminal thrombotic occlusion, which can lead to delays in patient care,

increased risk of infection, and increased healthcare costs.

The solution – CLC2000

When the CLC2000 is disconnected from an infusion device, the connector automatically provides

0.035 mL of positive fluid displacement. This is guaranteed to displace 100% of potential blood reflux

upon disconnection of a luer.

How it Works:

2. When the CLC2000 is

accessed, fluid from the

syringe or infusion device

fills the cylindrical chamber

in the lower “T” portion of

the connector.

1. When the CLC2000 is not

being accessed, the poppet

valve forms a safe,

swabbable barrier to

bacterial ingress.
