IV SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHLEBOTOMY THROUGH A PERIPHERAL IV CATHETER

摘要

An apparatus for performing blood collection through a peripheral intravenous line is described herein. The device includes a introducer and a cannula, and is configured to advance the cannula through a distal intravenous line. A y-adapter with a large diameter port is configured to receive the cannula to position the cannula in fluid communication with the distal intravenous line. When the cannula is advanced, it is configured to deliver body fluid to a volume outside the body.
