The safePICO Arterial Blood Sampler is a preheparinized, electrolyte balanced, arterial blood sampler for collection of arterial samples for pH, blood gas, oximetry, electrolyte, and metabolite analyses. The safePICO is a vented sampler for sample volumes in the range from 0.7 to 1.5 mL. The safePICO includes a vented tip cap allowing the sampler to be vented after the appliance of the tip cap and may include a needle shield device to prevent a user from accidental needle stick.
Device Story
Manual arterial blood sampler; collects 0.7-1.5 mL arterial blood. Features: graduated plastic barrel, plunger, dry electrolyte-balanced lithium/sodium heparin, internal magnetic steel ball for mixing, vented tip cap for air venting, optional needle shield. Used by clinicians for arterial puncture. Input: arterial blood; Output: blood sample in sealed, vented syringe. Sample processed on ABL800 FLEX or ABL900 FLEX analyzers. Needle shield provides sharps injury prevention; shield activation force tested to ensure irreversibility. Benefits: standardized sample collection, reduced needle stick risk, improved sample mixing, and integrated venting.
Clinical Evidence
Simulated-use study (n=52 healthcare providers, 501 tests) compared safePICO to predicate. Primary endpoint: needle stick injuries (0 injuries observed). Secondary endpoints: successful shield activation, tip cap retention, and ease of use. Bench testing confirmed equivalent analyte recovery (pH, pO2, pCO2, electrolytes, metabolites, hemoglobin, bilirubin) compared to predicate on ABL800 FLEX analyzers. Mechanical testing verified shield activation forces and vented tip cap pressure specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Pre-heparinized, electrolyte-balanced piston syringe. Materials: plastic barrel/plunger, magnetic steel ball. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (ISO/CD 11135:2001, EN550:1994) to SAL 10^-6. Features: vented tip cap, optional needle shield, barcode label. Connectivity: barcode readable by ABL800 FLEX analyzer. Dimensions: various needle gauges (22G, 23G) and lengths (16mm, 25mm, 32mm).
Indications for Use
Indicated for collection of arterial blood samples for pH, blood gas, oximetry, electrolyte, and metabolite analysis in patients requiring arterial blood gas monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A blood specimen collection device is a device intended for medical purposes to collect and to handle blood specimens and to separate serum from nonserum (cellular) components prior to further testing. This generic type device may include blood collection tubes, vials, systems, serum separators, blood collection trays, or vacuum sample tubes.
