Description
Key Features:
Three Lumens: The catheter features three separate internal channels (lumens) that allow for multiple, simultaneous therapies. This is crucial for critically ill patients who may require dialysis, medication administration, and fluid infusions at the same time. The lumens are typically designated for different functions (e.g., arterial, venous, and medial).
Pressure Injectable: A key feature is its ability to withstand the high pressures generated by power injectors used for the rapid administration of contrast media during imaging procedures like CT scans. This avoids the need for a separate IV line for such procedures.
High Flow Rates: With a 12 French (Fr) diameter, this large-bore catheter is designed to accommodate the high blood flow rates (often up to 300-400 mL/min) required for effective hemodialysis and other high-volume fluid resuscitation.
Material and Design: It is made of radiopaque polyurethane, which allows it to be visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy for accurate placement confirmation. The catheter often includes a soft, flexible tip (like the Blue FlexTip®) to minimize the risk of vessel perforation or trauma during insertion.
Dimensions: The "12FR x 16 CM" specification indicates a diameter of 12 French (approximately 4.0 mm) and a length of 16 cm. This length is suitable for insertion into large central veins such as the internal jugular or subclavian vein.
Antimicrobial Technology: Many Arrow catheters incorporate the ARROWg+ard® technology, an antimicrobial surface treatment (chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine) designed to reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).
Primary Uses:
The AK-12123-PCDC is indicated for short-term (less than 30 days) vascular access in a variety of acute medical situations. Its primary uses include:
Acute Hemodialysis: This is its main indication, providing temporary vascular access for patients with acute kidney injury or end-stage renal disease who require immediate renal replacement therapy but do not have a mature fistula or graft.
Apheresis: The catheter can be used for apheresis procedures, where blood is drawn from the patient, a component is separated, and the remainder is returned to the circulation.
High-Volume Infusions: It is ideal for the rapid administration of large volumes of fluids, blood products, or medications, which is often necessary in trauma cases, major surgeries, or for patients in shock.
Central Venous Pressure (CVP) Monitoring: One of the lumens can be connected to a transducer to monitor the patient's central venous pressure, providing critical hemodynamic information.
Frequent Blood Sampling: The multiple lumens provide easy access for frequent blood draws without the need for repeated needle sticks.
Power Injection of Contrast Media: As a pressure-injectable catheter, it can be used for the administration of contrast agents for diagnostic imaging.
