FDA has approved a Kurin 510(k) for its Kurin PIV18 peripheral IV (PIV) configuration with an extension set, which is intended for use with infusions. Many blood cultures are taken via direct venipuncture. By adding an extension set to a previously-available PIV product, nurses can leave the set in the vein after the culture is taken to spare the patient another needlestick, the company says.
