The Hummi Micro-Draw Blood Transfer Device significantly improves arterial line blood sampling from a UAC/UVC catheter to a blood collection device.
A new improved method for blood sampling from umbilical arterial catheters that may also reduce risks vs current methods
Hummi Micro Draw
- Reduces bolusing by reducing blood clearance and flush volume
- Reduces UAC clearance volumes prior to drawing blood to 0.5mL
- Reduces flush volumes for UAC after sampling to 0.3mL\Reduces overall blood/fluid movement during UAC blood draws from 4mL to 6mL down to 1.3mL
- Approximately a 70% reduction in overall blood/fluid movement required for UAC blood sampling
- Transfers blood directly from the catheter hub to the collection device
- Maintains a closed system access through a closed port split septum
- Reduces line accesses to 1 per blood draw (vs 4 for open stopcocks)
- Eliminates the need for complex and bulky in-line closed systems
- Eliminates setup time, in-line air issues and wave form damping seen with current in-line blood draw devices
- Draws NO blood into the arterial line during sampling procedure
- Provides for needleless access and reduced blood exposure
- Standardizes blood waste to a very low volume for each draw, less than 0.2mL
Improves PAL Sampling Methods
- Eliminates the Open Drip Method for PAL sampling
- May extend the life of the PAL catheter due to lower volume movement
- No positive or negative pressure applied to radial artery
- No flushing required after PAL blood draw
- Disposable after single use. Use only when needed
Technical Specifications
- Accepts luer lock / luer slip syringes or needleless collection devices
