Indications for Use

The AccuCath™ Intravascular Catheter is intended to be inserted in the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously.

Device Story

The AccuCath™ Intravascular Catheter is a sterile, single-use peripheral catheter used by clinicians for vascular access. The device consists of a catheter with a luer lock fitting, a needle with a flashback chamber, a guidewire, and a safety mechanism to shield the needle post-placement. A built-in blood control septum automatically restricts blood flow upon needle removal until a secure luer connection is established. The device is inserted percutaneously over the guidewire. It enables blood sampling, blood pressure monitoring, and intravenous fluid administration. The safety feature reduces the risk of sharps injury to the clinician. The device is available in 1.25 and 2.25-inch lengths and 18, 20, and 22 gauge sizes.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated against ISO 10555-1/5, ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ISO 594-1/2, and ASTM F640. Tests included effective catheter length, safety activation, gravity flow rate, bleedback prevention, guidewire deployment/retraction, and catheter flashback visibility. All tests met predetermined acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Pebax® (shaft tubing), Polyurethane (luer connector), Stainless Steel (needle), Nitinol (guidewire). Design: Single lumen, over-the-needle peripheral catheter with integrated guidewire and blood control septum. Dimensions: 18, 20, 22 gauge; 1.25 and 2.25-inch lengths. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135). Connectivity: None (mechanical device).

Indications for Use

Indicated for insertion into a patient's vascular system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. Suitable for use with low pressure power injectors (max 300 psi, max 6mL/second). Use requires consideration of vascular anatomy, infusion solution, and therapy duration.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

| Device<br>Description | The AccuCath™ Intravascular Catheter has usable length catheters of 1.25<br>and 2.25 inches in 18, 20, and 22 gauge sizes. The devices are single use,<br>sterile intravascular catheters designed to be inserted into a patient's vascular<br>system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids<br>intravenously. The AccuCath™ IV Catheter's hub has a built in blood control<br>septum. The blood control feature is a single-use septum that automatically<br>activates to stop the blood flow in the catheter hub when the needle is<br>removed from the catheter during initial insertion by the clinician. Blood flow<br>from the catheter hub will be restricted immediately after the needle retraction<br>until a secure luer connection is made. The flow path is permanently opened<br>once a secure luer connection has been made. The AccuCath™ IV Catheter<br>is provided with a safety mechanism which allows the needle to be shielded<br>following placement of the catheter. All devices have the basic structure of a<br>protective cover, a catheter with a luer lock fitting, a needle connected to a<br>flashback chamber, a safety container, and a guidewire within the lumen of<br>the needle which is connected to a slider, spring and release button. | | |
