If the eligibility criteria are fulfilled, up to 4 attempts will be made to achieve successful peripheral intravenous catheterization with the investigational device. All successive attempts will be made at a site different from the one(s) at which access has already failed.

The investigational device is a peripheral intravenous catheter with a passive fully automatic needlestick protection, with a glide-on-contact design of the plastic cannula tip featuring asymmetry, with the negative, convex slope in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tip resulting in bottom part of the cannula being shorter.

Proportion, in percent, of subjects with successful peripheral intravenous catheterization Successful PIVC is defined as withdrawal of non-pulsatile blood or infusion of saline without evidence of extravasation.

Failed PIVC is defined as extravasation with initial infusion, inability to draw blood, physician or nurse intervention for access or inability to obtain access.
