McKesson I.V. Start Kit - Complete Sterile IV Insertion Procedure Pack

Streamlined IV Insertion Procedure Solution

This comprehensive I.V. Start Kit has been meticulously designed in collaboration with clinical healthcare professionals to optimize workflow efficiency, reduce procedural waste, and enhance patient safety during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion. Each component is strategically packaged in sequence of use, enabling clinicians to progress seamlessly through IV insertion protocols without interruption or contamination risk.

Clinical Workflow Optimization

The sequential packaging design eliminates the need to gather individual components from multiple sources, reducing procedure setup time and minimizing opportunities for breaks in sterile technique. Healthcare professionals can maintain focus on patient care while accessing each item in the precise order required by standard IV insertion protocols, from initial site preparation through final dressing application.

Complete Kit Components

• 1 IV Change Label: Pre-printed documentation label for recording insertion date, time, and clinician initials, supporting infection control protocols and compliance with catheter rotation guidelines
• 1 Alcohol Prep Pad: Saturated antiseptic pad for initial skin cleansing and degreasing prior to antimicrobial preparation, removing surface contaminants and oils
• 1 Pair Nitrile Gloves: Latex-free examination gloves providing barrier protection during procedure while accommodating latex-sensitive healthcare workers and patients
• 1 Roll of Transpore Tape: Medical-grade transparent surgical tape for securing IV tubing and providing additional catheter stabilization without obscuring insertion site visibility
• 1 Tourniquet: Latex-free venous occlusion device for enhancing vein visualization and palpation during site selection and catheter insertion
• 1 PVP Prep Pad: Povidone-iodine antiseptic preparation pad delivering broad-spectrum antimicrobial action for surgical-level skin disinfection at insertion site
• 2 Non-Woven Gauze Pads (2" x 2", 8-Ply): Sterile, absorbent gauze for managing minor bleeding at insertion site and providing cushioning beneath transparent dressing
• 1 Transparent Dressing (2.37" x 2.75"): Sterile, breathable, waterproof film dressing enabling continuous visual inspection of insertion site while protecting against external contamination and maintaining catheter securement

Safety & Quality Features

• Sterile Single-Use Design: Each kit is individually packaged and sterilized to maintain product integrity and prevent cross-contamination between patients
• Latex-Free Formulation: All components manufactured without natural rubber latex to minimize allergic reaction risk for both patients and healthcare providers
• Waste Reduction Engineering: Precisely curated component selection eliminates excess supplies and packaging, reducing environmental impact and disposal costs
• Standardized Contents: Consistent kit configuration supports standardized procedures, staff training, and quality assurance across clinical departments

Clinical Applications

Ideal for emergency departments, medical-surgical units, intensive care units, outpatient infusion centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and pre-hospital emergency medical services. Supports peripheral IV catheter insertion for fluid resuscitation, medication administration, blood product transfusion, and diagnostic blood sampling procedures.

Compliance & Documentation Support

Integrated IV change label facilitates compliance with Infusion Nurses Society (INS) standards and institutional policies for catheter site rotation and documentation. Transparent dressing enables ongoing site assessment without dressing removal, supporting early detection of infiltration, phlebitis, or infection.

Inventory Management Benefits

Single-SKU ordering simplifies procurement, reduces inventory complexity, and ensures consistent availability of all essential IV insertion supplies. Compact packaging optimizes storage space in crash carts, procedure rooms, and mobile supply carts.
