Title: Safety Clips
Post by: Epofriend on January 11, 2011, 06:03:00 PM

Is anyone familiar with or does your unit use safety clips? It is rumored to be a clip that goes on the venous line to secure the tubing set to venous port of the catheter or access so that the two cannot separate.

Yes its true.  They use the safety clips all the time in my dialysis unit.  Now, please tell me that you have done the fistula surgery!
