Lineus Medical Receives Patent for SafeBreak® Vascular Generation 2

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Amzeal -- Lineus Medical, the leader in vascular access innovation, has been awarded a U.S. patent for SafeBreak® Vascular Generation 2, the next evolution of the company's flagship breakaway device. The newly patented design features a single-valve system, replacing the original device's two-valve configuration. The ideas captured in the patent allow the device to have a significantly smaller profile while maintaining the device's core function of protecting IV lines from damaging external forces by separating. The patent also includes the ability to add a light and/or sound notification for nurses when the device separates. The current version of SafeBreak relies on IV pump alarm to alert nurses of a separation. Having an alarm on SafeBreak will help open up the home healthcare and gravity line IV market for the company.

SafeBreak Vascular is the only breakaway device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce multiple IV complications.¹ When a damaging force is placed on the line, SafeBreak intentionally separates to remove the force and protect the patient's IV.   When separation occurs, valves on both ends of the device close to prevent medication leakage from the pump and blood loss from the patient. To replace SafeBreak, each component is unthreaded from the line, a new sterile SafeBreak is installed, and the patent's infusion is restarted. Patients avoid additional needlesticks, nurses save time, and hospitals save money.¹
