Description

The Atellica VTR Syringe, crafted by Siemens Healthineers, is an advanced arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling device designed to enhance the accuracy and integrity of arterial blood collection. This syringe is integral for healthcare professionals seeking reliable results in blood gas analysis.

Key Features

• Anticoagulant Formulation: Equipped with a dry, balanced lithium-zinc heparin anticoagulant, this syringe minimizes coagulation without significantly affecting ionized calcium and main electrolyte results. It is compatible with RAPIDPoint 500e and epoc blood gas analyzers, ensuring consistent performance even with low protein content in whole-blood samples.

• Safety and Needle Technology: The ABG SafetyTip™ dual-locking technology provides robust needlestick protection, reducing the risk of accidental injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The patented design securely covers the needle with an audible click and allows for single-handed activation, enhancing operator safety with clear visualization of the insertion site.

• Needle and Syringe Design: Features an ultra-sharp, thin-wall needle for smooth insertion, rapid fill time, and improved patient comfort. The vented device offers dual functionality with preset plunger mode or manual aspiration. Its proven vent system prevents dead space contamination, ensuring accurate sample collection. The large venting filter facilitates rapid filling with minimal back pressure.

Sampling Versatility

The Atellica VTR Syringe is versatile, suitable for blood drawn from arterial puncture or arterial line. It includes auto-venting syringes for direct sampling via arterial puncture and aspirating syringes for arterial line sampling.

Sizes and Packaging

Available in 1 ml or 3 ml sizes, each box contains 100 syringes, triple-packaged with filter caps included. This comprehensive packaging ensures the syringes remain sterile and ready for use in clinical settings.

Use Cases

Ideal for clinical environments that demand safe, accurate, and rapid ABG sampling, the Atellica VTR Syringe is designed with both patient comfort and operator control in mind. It is part of a broader range of sampling devices aimed at facilitating safe and effective blood gas collection and analysis.
