Description

The FBS KIT WITH AMNILUME is an innovative solution designed by Rocket Medical, also trading as Nusurgix, to enhance the process of fetal blood sampling during labor. This sterile, single-use kit is crafted to provide healthcare professionals with the tools necessary for safe, accurate, and efficient sampling, compatible with a wide range of blood gas and lactate analyzers.

Key Components

• Amnilume™ Light Source: Each kit includes the Amnilume™ single-use light source, offering maximum illumination to improve visualization during procedures. This feature is crucial for simplifying scalp puncture and streamlining sample collection.

• Sampling Wand: The kit's sampling wand integrates a blade and capillary tube holder, ensuring continuous visibility. The retractable blade design minimizes the risk of injury, making the process safer and more manageable.

• Amnioscope: Made from biocompatible ABS plastic, the disposable amnioscope is compatible with the Amnilume™ light source, enhancing the overall functionality of the kit.

Capillary Tubes

The kit includes non-breakable, high-heparin plastic capillary tubes available in various volumes (55µL, 85µL, 90µL, 100µL), catering to different analyzer requirements. These tubes are compatible with analyzers from brands such as Radiometer ABL™, Siemens Rapidlab, and others, ensuring broad applicability.

Safety and Convenience

Designed for single patient use, the kit is supplied sterile and ready-to-use, significantly reducing preparation time and minimizing the risk of contamination or injury. Each kit variant may include additional components such as gauze swabs, swab sticks, and a universal blood gas analyzer adapter, tailored to specific sampling needs.

Specialized Variants

The FBS KIT WITH AMNILUME offers specialist micro-volume kits with RADIOMETER® safeCLINITUBES™, designed for specific analyzers. These variants provide comprehensive configurations for pH/blood gas or lactate analysis, supporting up to five individual samplings per kit.

Packaging and Warnings

Each kit is packed in cartons of 10 and includes notable compatibility notes. For instance, the amnioscope's ABS plastic may react with axongesic ethyl chloride spray, potentially leaving a white deposit. Additionally, some variants are supplied without petroleum jelly to prevent interference with blood gas analysis.

This comprehensive kit aims to reduce risk and stress during fetal blood sampling by providing all necessary components in a convenient, ready-to-use format, supporting healthcare professionals in delivering optimal care.
