Instrument Delivery Device with Integrated Scrubbing Cap and Method of Use Thereof

A method of manufacturing an instrument delivery device coupleable to a catheter assembly including a catheter positionable intravenously in a patient, the method comprising:

• providing an instrument delivery device comprising:
• an instrument configured to be inserted within the catheter;
• a housing having a proximal end and a distal end and defining an inner volume configured to movably receive the instrument;
• a coupling device positioned at the distal end of the housing, the coupling device comprising a lock configured to couple the housing to a proximal connector of the catheter assembly;
• and
• an advancement member configured to move relative to the housing to move the instrument between a first position, in which a distal end of the instrument is disposed within the housing or within the lock, and a second position, in which the distal end of the instrument is disposed within the catheter or past a distal tip of the catheter;
• and
• engaging a scrubbing cap with the lock, the scrubbing cap comprising:
• a scrubbing insert;
• a housing including:
• a connector portion configured to engage with the lock to secure the scrubbing cap to the instrument delivery device;
• and
• a holder portion distal from the connector portion and including a cavity configured to retain the scrubbing insert therein;
• and
• a seal attached to the holder portion to seal the scrubbing insert within the cavity;
• wherein the scrubbing cap is engaged with the lock in a manner that provides for removal of the scrubbing cap from the instrument delivery device.
