- W2056529290 abstract "Background Luer-activated devices (LAD) have been designed to reduce the risk of sharps injury; however, published reports suggest that internal fluid path contamination occurs in selected devices. The present in vitro study compares the antimicrobial property of a silver-nanotechnology LAD to 8 nonantimicrobial LADs. Methods A laboratory reference strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (ATCC 33592) was used to prepare a standardized microbial challenge, 3.73- to 3.86-log10 colony-forming units (cfu)/mL, adjusted for fluid path volume for 9 commercially available LAD (1 sliver nanotechnology LAD and 8 non-antimicrobial LADs). Following incubation (15 hours at 30°C), each device was flushed, serially diluted, and plated in triplicate to trypticase soy agar for microbial recovery, expressed as log10 cfu/mL. Results Comparison of fluid path volumes documented a wide variation between the 9 commercial devices (range, 0.025-0.359 mL). Log10 microbial recovery were shown to increase on average 1.5 to 3.0 logs in the 8 non-antimicrobial LADs, whereas S aureus recovery in the silver-nanoparticle LAD demonstrated a 2.6-log decrease following incubation (P ≤ .05). Conclusion These findings suggest that, under in vitro conditions, a silver nanotechnology was effective in reducing the risk of fluid path colonization when the LAD was challenged using a standardized inoculum of a laboratory reference strain of MRSA. Further studies are warranted to assess the clinical efficacy of an antimicrobial LAD technology for reducing the risk of vascular access (catheter associated) infections.
