The Atellica VTR Syringe is a specialized medical device designed for precise arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling. It is crafted to meet the demanding needs of critical care environments, ensuring rapid and accurate blood gas collection while maintaining high sample integrity.

Key Features

• Heparin Formulation: The syringe features a balanced lithium-zinc heparin formulation that acts as an anticoagulant. This formulation minimizes the impact on ionized calcium and electrolyte results, making it suitable for whole-blood samples, even those with low protein content.

• Safety Design: Equipped with the ABG SafetyTip™ dual-locking mechanism, the syringe significantly reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Its intuitive, single-handed safety activation enhances operator efficiency and complies with advanced safety standards.

• Needle Specifications: The syringe includes a 25G thin-wall needle, designed for smoother insertion and improved patient comfort. The needle is labeled as 'NDL LS SAFETY TP' for easy identification.

Sample Integrity

The Atellica VTR Syringe is engineered to preserve sample integrity through its proven vent system, which eliminates dead space contamination. This design reduces pre-analytical errors, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Compatibility

This syringe is compatible with RAPIDPoint 500e and epoc blood gas analyzers, integrating seamlessly into existing diagnostic workflows. Its 1 mL volume and packaging in packets of 100 single syringes make it a practical choice for healthcare facilities.

Comprehensive Design

Part of a comprehensive range of sampling devices, the Atellica VTR Syringe enhances both patient comfort and operator efficiency, contributing to safer blood gas collection and accurate analysis.
