Frequently asked questions
What specific pediatric tests are these safety lancets used for?
The Icu Medical Neoheel Safety Lancets are essential single-use devices for obtaining quality capillary blood samples from infants following birth. They are specifically designed to facilitate several necessary pediatric tests, including:
- Metabolic screening
- Glucose testing
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Hematocrit analysis
Are specialized infant sizes available for the Neoheel Safety Lancets?
Yes, the Neoheel Safety Lancets are engineered to safely and effectively collect blood samples across various neonatal and pediatric weight categories. They are available in four distinct configurations to ensure appropriate fit and targeted blood volume collection (Medium or High).
This precision is crucial for obtaining the quality blood samples required for essential newborn screenings (e.g., metabolic screening, glucose testing, and complete blood counts).
The four specialized sizes are:
- Micro-Preemie (Low Birth Weight <1kg): Dimensions of 0.65 mm x 1.4 mm, designed for Medium Blood Volume.
- Preemie (Low Birth Weight 1–2.5kg): Dimensions of 0.85 mm x 1.75 mm, designed for Medium Blood Volume.
- Newborn (Birth–6 months, 2.5–9kg): Dimensions of 1.00 mm x 2.5 mm, designed for Medium Blood Volume.
- Toddler (6–24 months, >9kg): Dimensions of 2.00 mm x 3.00 mm, designed for High Blood Volume.
Are these safe for professional use?
Yes, the Icu Medical Neoheel Safety Lancets are specialized professional devices intended for use by medical personnel in clinical settings.
They are ideal for use in areas such as:
- Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
- Maternity Wards
- Pediatric Clinics
These lancets are essential tools for implementing standardized newborn screening protocols, facilitating critical initial health diagnostics like metabolic screening, glucose level checks, complete blood counts (CBC), and haematocrit measurements.
Are these lancets available in specific infant sizes?
Yes, these Neoheel Safety Lancets are specifically designed for neonatal blood collection, featuring four distinct configurations to ensure the appropriate puncture depth and targeted blood volume (Medium or High) for critical screenings. This specialization is a major selling point.
The configurations are precisely tailored to the infant’s weight and age classification:
- Micro-Preemie: For infants weighing less than 1 kg.
- Preemie: For infants weighing between 1 kg and 2.5 kg.
- Newborn: For infants weighing between 2.5 kg and 9 kg (Birth–6 months).
- Toddler: For infants weighing over 9 kg (6–24 months), which collects a High Blood Volume.
This customized sizing is essential for obtaining quality samples required for procedures such as metabolic screening, glucose testing, and complete blood count (CBC).
Are Neoheel lancets optimized for sample quality?
Yes, the Neoheel Safety Lancets are specifically engineered to collect high-quality, consistent blood samples from infants. This optimization is crucial for accurate and essential newborn screening procedures.
Sample quality is ensured through their highly specialized, infant-specific design:
- Tailored Configurations: The lancets are available in four distinct configurations (Micro-Preemie, Preemie, Newborn, Toddler), precisely matched to specific infant weight and age categories. This guarantees the appropriate penetration depth for the patient size.
- Targeted Volume Collection: The design facilitates the reliable collection of either Medium or High Blood Volume samples, minimizing the risk of insufficient volume that could compromise critical testing.
- Comprehensive Testing: The collected samples are ideal for crucial post-natal diagnostics, including metabolic screening, glucose testing, complete blood counts (CBC), and hematocrit determination.
These features ensure the integrity of the sample needed for clinical applications.
Are these specialized safety lancets designed for infants?
Yes, the Icu Medical Neoheel Safety Lancets are specifically engineered for safe and accurate blood sample collection from infants immediately following birth. They are critical consumables used to procure blood specimens for essential newborn screenings.
Key Features and Specifications
- Infant-Specific Design: The lancets ensure appropriateness for various low birth weight categories and stages, providing controlled procedures for pediatric patients.
- Critical Use: The samples collected are vital for diagnostics, including metabolic screening, glucose testing, complete blood count (CBC), and hematocrit measurements.
- Safety Mechanism: As designated “Safety Lancets,” they are designed to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick injuries post-use in a clinical setting.
Available Configurations
The Neoheel line offers four distinct configurations, tailored to the infant’s weight and required blood volume:
- Micro-Preemie (<1kg): Medium Blood Volume (0.65 mm x 1.4 mm)
- Preemie (1-2.5kg): Medium Blood Volume (0.85 mm x 1.75 mm)
- Newborn (2.5-9kg): Medium Blood Volume (1.00 mm x 2.5 mm)
- Toddler (>9kg, 6-24 months): High Blood Volume (2.00 mm x 3.00 mm)
All units are supplied Factory New for guaranteed sterility and optimal performance.
Do these lancets come in different blood volume options?
Yes, the Icu Medical Neoheel Safety Lancets are precisely configured to achieve specific blood collection needs, offering both medium and high blood volume options.
These volume options are correlated directly to the size and weight of the infant being tested:
- Medium Blood Volume: This configuration is used for Micro-Preemie (<1kg), Preemie (1-2.5kg), and Newborn (2.5-9kg) infants.
- High Blood Volume: This configuration is specifically designated for the Toddler (>9kg) category.
This system ensures that healthcare professionals can safely and effectively obtain the necessary sample quantities for critical newborn screening tests, such as metabolic screening, glucose testing, and complete blood counts (CBC).
