Frequently asked questions
Are pediatric lancet options available?
The Icu Medical Safe-T-Lance line historically included a specific configuration for pediatric use, but this variant is currently discontinued.
This option was configured as:
- Blade Size: 1.5mm blade
- Color Code: Pink
- Packaging: 200 per box
We recommend checking the current availability of other gauges (25G, 21G, 18G) for standard sampling needs.
Are these sterile, single-use safety lancets?
Yes, the ICU Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are designed specifically as sterile, single-use medical devices essential for safe blood sampling.
The single-use requirement, combined with the integrated safety mechanism, provides critical benefits for both the patient and the user:
- Prevents Cross-Contamination: Using a fresh, sterile device every time maintains the highest hygiene standards.
- Enhances User Safety: The built-in protective features ensure the device is safely disabled after the procedure, reducing the risk of accidental injury in clinical settings.
Are these lancets available in the US?
Yes, the ICU Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are designed and available for use within the US only.
What gauges and blade sizes are available for these lancets?
The Icu Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are available in several configurations of gauges and blade sizes, each color-coded for fast identification of the intended flow rate and use. These sizes are designed to meet diverse sampling requirements, from standard to high-flow needs.
| Size / Gauge | Flow Rate | Configuration Type | Color Code | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25G Needle | Standard | Safety Lancet | Blue | Available |
| 21G Needle | Normal Flow | Lancet | Green | Available |
| 18G Needle | High Flow | Lancet | Yellow or Light Blue | Available |
| 1.5mm Blade | Maximum Flow | Lancet | Purple | Available |
| 1.5mm Blade | Pediatric | Lancet | Pink | Discontinued |
Do these Safe-T-Lance lancets have robust safety features?
The Icu Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are single-use devices specifically designed for safe and controlled capillary blood sampling in clinical settings. Their design prioritizes protection for both the patient and the clinician.
Key safety and quality features include:
- Integrated Safety Mechanism: The “Safe-T-Lance” designation signifies an integrated safety mechanism, which is essential for preventing accidental needlestick injuries and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination immediately after use.
- Guaranteed Sterility: All units are supplied in Factory New condition, ensuring optimal sterility for every single blood collection procedure.
- Precision Engineering: These are precision instruments designed for professional use, ensuring reliable, controlled penetration depth for safer specimen collection.
- Optimal Configurations: The availability of multiple precise configurations (e.g., 18G, 21G, 25G needles, or 1.5mm blades) allows medical staff to select the exact gauge and flow rate needed for controlled, safe sampling based on specific patient requirements (including a specialized pediatric option).
How are the safety lancets packaged?
The ICU Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are provided in bulk packaging, designed for high-volume clinical and professional settings. They are typically configured as follows:
- Box Quantity: 200 lancets per box (200/bx).
- Case Quantity: 10 boxes per case, totaling 2,000 lancets per case (10 bx/cs).
Do the safety lancets feature a color-coding system?
Yes, the ICU Medical Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets utilize a color-coded system for quick and accurate identification of specific configurations, including the required gauge, blade size, and flow rate. This streamlines the selection process for controlled capillary blood sampling.
Key color codes and their specifications include:
- Blue (25G Needle): Standard Sampling
- Green (21G Needle): Normal Flow
- Yellow / Light Blue (18G Needle): High Flow
- Purple (1.5mm Blade): Maximum Flow
A specific Pink configuration (1.5mm Blade, Pediatric Use) was previously available but is currently marked as discontinued.
What bulk packaging options are available?
The Safe-T-Lance Safety Lancets are designed for high-volume clinical and professional settings, offering convenient bulk packaging:
- Box Quantity: Each individual box contains 200 lancets.
- Case Quantity: Products are typically sold in cases containing 10 boxes, totaling 2,000 lancets per case.
