Linear Health Sciences Announces Expanded Indication for Orchid Safety Release Valve

Device Intended to Reduce Risk of IV Catheter Failure and Replacement in Hospitals Now Cleared for All IV Access Methods

Linear Health Sciences
Linear Health Sciences' Orchid SRV is a sterile, single-use connector for needle-free access that, when activated, makes return to treatment fast, simple, and clean, while improving both the patient and clinician experience. It is now U.S. FDA cleared for use with central venous catheters, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), peripheral IV catheters, and intraosseous cannulation, during direct injection, intermittent infusion, and continuous infusion, in patients two weeks of age and older

Medical device company Linear Health Sciences today announced it received an expanded indication from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for its Orchid SRV™ safety release valve. The expanded indication means that the Orchid SRV may now be used with all IV access methods.

The Orchid SRV is a sterile, single-use connector for needle-free access that, when activated, makes return to treatment fast, simple, and clean, while improving both the patient and clinician experience. It is now indicated for use with central venous catheters, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), peripheral IV catheters, and intraosseous cannulation, during direct injection, intermittent infusion, and continuous infusion, in patients two weeks of age and older.

“Maintaining vascular access is one of the most fundamental, yet most over-looked, treatment modalities in medicine today,” said Dr. Ryan Dennis, co-founder and chief medical officer of Linear Health Sciences. “Expanding indication for the Orchid SRV to all IV settings will help improve outcomes for millions of patients every year.”

Dislodgement and associated IV treatment failures in the more than 342 million peripheral IVs administered in the U.S. each year1 are estimated to cost the American healthcare system more than $2 billion annually2. Dislodgement is most frequently caused by patient confusion or removal of the catheter, loose dressing or tape, or tubing becoming tangled in bed linens. Clinical simulation testing of 360 Orchid SRVs showed that the device prevented IV dislodgement by 91.1 percent across all test groups.

“The expanded indication from the FDA represents an acceleration of our commercialization efforts, as we look to create a continuum of care for vascular access,” said Dan Clark, co-founder and CEO of Linear Health Sciences. “In addition to improved care for patients, the Orchid SRV enables significant downstream cost savings, which benefits the entire healthcare ecosystem.”

Linear Health Sciences won an Innovative Technology Award for Orchid SRV from Vizient, making the device available to hospital customers through a non-exclusive contract with the group purchasing organization (GPO). Additionally, the device is available nationwide and across Canada. Qualified clinical evaluations of the Orchid SRV will continually quantify device utilization, driving Linear Health Science’s next generations of innovation.

Stoke Therapeutics Presents Data From Multiple Studies of Children and Adolescents With Dravet Syndrome at the American Epilepsy Society 2023 Annual Meeting

Data from clinical studies of STK-001 demonstrated clinical benefit for patients ages 2 to 18 years old, including reductions in seizures and improvements in cognition and behavior that support the potential for disease modificatio. Analysis of 72 patients treated in STK-001 clinical trials suggests that higher STK-001 drug exposure in brain leads to greater seizure reductions. Two-year data from the longest prospective natural history study of Dravet syndrome showed that, on average, patients experienced no meaningful improvement in convulsive seizure frequency and exhibited widening gaps in cognition and behavior despite treatment with the best available anti-seizure medicines.

Exact Sciences Presents Multiple Studies at San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Supporting Optimization and Individualization of Therapy for Breast Cancer Patients

"Exact Sciences is looking forward to presenting new evidence at SABCS that adds important perspectives to treating breast cancer patients and showing that some patients may be able to de-escalate treatments and still have positive outcomes," said Dr. Rick Baehner, Chief Medical Officer, Precision Oncology, Exact Sciences. "Every year, we build upon the precedent set by the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test and its prognostic and predictive abilities to determine the chemotherapy benefit for specific breast cancer patients. We are pleased to see authorities expanding access to this test as we continue to develop key evidence in collaboration with some of the world's most prestigious, breast cancer-focused organizations."

Research Team at UNC Validates PixCell Medical’s HemoScreen as Game-Changer for Clozapine Monitoring in Psychiatry
