Key Features
Integrated Safety Needle: The device features an attached 22 G x 1" BD Eclipse™ safety needle. This needle has a fully integrated safety shield that can be activated with a single hand (using the thumb) immediately after use to cover the needle, helping to prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
Syringe Type: It is a 3 mL Luer-Lok™ syringe, which provides a secure, twist-on connection.
Anticoagulant: The syringe is pre-coated with spray-dried, calcium-balanced Lithium Heparin (approximately 80 IU). This additive is essential as it immediately stops the blood sample from clotting, which is critical for accurate test results.
"Preset" Function: The syringe is designed for "preset" or automatic fill. The plunger can be preset to the recommended fill volume (1.6 mL) for this syringe, allowing the arterial blood pressure to fill the syringe automatically.
Venting System: It includes a self-venting membrane that allows air to be expelled as the sample is collected, which is crucial for obtaining an anaerobic (air-free) sample for blood gas testing.
Tip Cap: The kit includes a BD Hemogard™ tip cap, which is designed to seal the syringe after collection to maintain the integrity of the sample and prevent leakage or exposure.
Primary Uses
The BD 364390 is used by trained healthcare professionals (such as respiratory therapists, critical care nurses, and physicians) to perform an arterial blood gas (ABG) puncture.
The primary purpose is to collect a high-quality arterial blood sample for in-vitro diagnostic testing. This sample is used to measure:
Blood Gases: Levels of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in the blood.
pH Level: The acidity or alkalinity of the blood.
Bicarbonate (HCO3): A key component in the body's acid-base balancing system.
Electrolytes & Metabolites: Levels of critical analytes such as ionized calcium, ionized magnesium, and lactate.
This test is one of the most important tools in a critical care setting and is commonly ordered to:
Assess a patient's respiratory status and lung function.
Monitor patients on ventilators or oxygen therapy.
Manage critically ill patients with conditions like sepsis, shock, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or heart failure.
Evaluate the body's overall acid-base balance.
