Assembly method for catheter with blood control

摘要

A system and method for assembling a catheter device, wherein a septum actuator (120) is positioned within the lumen of a catheter adapter to provide a pathway through a septum (140) component, an introducer needle being inserted through the septum via the septum actuator (120) thereby preventing damage to the septum, the septum actuator thereafter being withdrawn from the septum and positioned within a rearward chamber (144) of the catheter adapter lumen.
