OnGuard® 2 Closed System Transfer Device
The vapor is invisible, but the danger is real
The OnGuard 2 Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) Family of Products is the only system tested with real hazardous drugs resulting in data-proven protection.1
The danger of handling hazardous drugs is there—you just can't see it. OnGuard 2 CSTD provides safety and simplicity that's backed by science.
- Tested and passed a testing protocol based on the 2016 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) draft protocol for CSTDs, mechanically prohibiting the escape of hazardous drugs into the environment.
- Passed Microbial Ingress testing for up to seven days and 10 activations.
Safety that's proven
OnGuard 2 is the only CSTD tested with real hazardous drug solvents for vapor containments.1
- Compatible with known hazardous drugs to minimize exposure during preparation and injection
- Membrane-to-membrane connection is designed for a dry disconnect1
- Located in the vial adaptor, patented TOXI-GUARD® Air-Cleaning Technology designed to prevent the escape of cytotoxic and other hazardous drug vapors, aerosols and droplets into the environment during reconstitution. Additionally, TOXI-GUARD prevents airborne contaminants and particles from entering the vial
Included safety features
