FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Missouriar -- Lineus Medical has obtained CE Mark certification for its flagship product, SafeBreak® Vascular, the only breakaway device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce multiple IV complications.¹ With this certification, SafeBreak Vascular is now cleared for use across the European Union. This approval expands SafeBreak Vascular's clearance from 5 countries to 32, spanning across more than three continents. Lineus Medical is actively partnering with distributors across Europe to expand hospital access to SafeBreak worldwide.

SafeBreak Vascular is a break-away device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce IV complications¹. When a harmful force is placed on the line, SafeBreak intentionally separates to remove the damaging force and protect the patient's IV. When SafeBreak separates, valves on both ends of the device close preventing medicine spills 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 money¹.
