Lineus Medical, a Fayetteville-based startup, announced yesterday that it received FDA approval to sell its first medical device, SafeBreak Vascular.

• IV safety: SafeBreak allows for IV's to have a release valve that if there were ever an opposing "pulling" force it would disconnect from the drip line and protect the patient and the equipment. You can find a demonstration here.
• Long road: Going from concept to market through FDA approval takes 3 to 7 years. Spencer Jones founded the Company in 2015 and has since been navigating and adhering to the intense FDA guidelines to bring SafeBreak Vascular to market.
