Description

The Atellica VTR Syringe, crafted by Siemens Healthineers, is a specialized tool designed for precise arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling and arterial blood collection. Its primary function is to maintain the integrity of blood samples, ensuring accurate analysis results.

Key Features

• Anticoagulant Formulation: The syringe is equipped with a balanced lithium-zinc heparin formulation that effectively prevents coagulation. This formulation has minimal impact on ionized calcium and main electrolyte results, making it highly suitable for use with RAPIDPoint 500e and epoc blood gas analyzers. Its performance remains consistent even with low protein content in whole-blood samples.

• Advanced Needle Technology: The ABG SafetyTip™ dual-locking technology provides robust protection against needlestick injuries. This feature allows for single-handed safety activation and includes a patented dual-locking design with an audible click for secure needle coverage. The thin-wall, ultra-sharp needle ensures smooth insertion, enhancing patient comfort and providing optimal visualization of the insertion site.

• Sample Integrity: A proven vent system is integrated to eliminate dead space contamination. The dual-function, vented device offers a preset plunger mode or manual aspiration, with a large venting filter for rapid filling and minimal back pressure. This makes it suitable for both arterial puncture and arterial line draws.

Ease of Use

The intuitive design of the Atellica VTR Syringe allows for easy handling, featuring single-handed safety activation and fast fill time. It is available in 1 ml or 3 ml sizes, with options for auto-venting and aspirating syringes. Additionally, it can be supplied with a needle safety sheath for enhanced protection.

Packaging

Each box contains 100 syringes, triple-packaged with filter caps included, making it an ideal choice for healthcare settings requiring reliable and efficient blood collection tools.
