Abstract: Provided herein is a blood draw device for use with a PIVC. The blood draw device includes a catheter, an introducer housing, and an actuator movably coupled to the introducer housing. The introducer housing includes a first member and a second member coupled together via a plurality of snaps to define an inner volume configured to movably receive the catheter. A plurality of lower snaps is formed on the first housing member and spaced apart between proximal and distal ends thereof, each of the lower snaps having a hook that is oriented downward. A first upper snap is formed on the first housing member at a distal end thereof, the first upper snap having a hook that is oriented upward. A second upper snap is formed on the second housing member at a proximal end thereof, the second upper snap having a hook that is oriented downward.

Abstract: An integrated intravenous catheter includes a catheter adapter having a catheter and an inlet, with the catheter configured to be inserted into a patient's vasculature, a needle-free connector comprising a first port, a second port positioned opposite the first port, and a side port positioned the first port and the second port, with the second port including a valve member, intermediate tubing extending between the inlet of the catheter adapter and the first port of the needle-free connector, and extension tubing extending from the side port of the needle-free connector.

Abstract: A blood draw device for use with a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) includes a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall therebetween defining a lumen, an introducer having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall therebetween defining an inner volume configured to movably receive the catheter, with the introducer defining a longitudinal axis, and an actuator movably coupled to the introducer and connected to the catheter. The actuator having a first portion disposed outside of the introducer and a second portion disposed in the inner volume of the introducer, with the catheter having a first portion extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the introducer and a second portion extending oblique to the longitudinal axis of the introducer.

Abstract: A blood draw device for use with a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) includes a catheter, an introducer, an actuator movably coupled to the introducer, with the actuator configured to move relative to the introducer to move the catheter between a first position, in which the distal end of the catheter is disposed within the introducer, and a second position, in which the distal end of the catheter is disposed beyond the distal end of the introducer. The introducer defines a groove extending from the proximal end of the introducer to the distal end of the introducer. The groove is positioned within the inner volume of the introducer and closer to the bottom surface than the top surface, with the groove configured to receive a portion of the catheter during use of the blood draw device.

Abstract: A catheter extension set is disclosed having a body defining a channel to direct a biological fluid therethrough, a connection port defined in the body, in which an extension tube is fluidly coupled to the connection port, a vented access port in fluid communication with the extension tube, the vented access port spaced apart from the connection port, a non-integrated catheter removably connectable with the body to direct a biological fluid into the body, and a distal access port defined in the body, the distal access port configured to be in fluid communication with a removable sample collection container. An initial biological fluid volume directed through the body is directed into the extension tube via the connection port and into the vented access port.

An initial biological fluid volume directed through the body is directed into the extension tube via the connection port and into the vented access port.

Abstract: A medical device includes a catheter having proximal and distal ends, and defining a lumen, an introducer having proximal and distal ends, and defining an inner volume configured to movably receive the catheter. The distal end of the introducer has a lock configured to couple the introducer to an intravenous line, the introducer having a flexible member arranged within the inner volume configured to limit deflection of the catheter as the catheter is moved within the introducer, and an actuator movably coupled to the introducer. The actuator has a first portion disposed outside the introducer and a second portion disposed in the inner volume of the introducer and coupled to the catheter. The actuator configured to move relative to the introducer to move the catheter between first and second positions, such that the first portion is disposed within the intravenous line when the introducer is coupled to the intravenous line.
