Frequently asked questions
Does Dual Flash Technology confirm vessel placement?
Yes, the SuperCath 5 uses Dual Flash Technology specifically for vessel entry confirmation. This feature provides clear feedback to the clinician during the insertion process, helping to ensure quick and accurate placement within the vessel.
Does the SuperCath 5 feature integrated safety?
Yes, the ICU Medical SuperCath 5 is specifically engineered with integrated safety features to protect clinicians and ensure compliance with OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards.
Key safety elements include:
- Needlestick Protection: Features fully encapsulated needle protection combined with a Push Button Safety mechanism for retracting the needle upon activation, minimizing accidental needlestick injuries.
- Blood Containment: Incorporates specialized technology designed to minimize user exposure to blood during use.
- Material Quality: The catheter is constructed from durable Polyurethane and is certified as DEHP-Free.
What is the flow rate?
The ICU Medical SuperCath 5 (26 Gauge) features a flow rate of 12 mL/min.
This specific flow rate is based on its dimensions:
- Gauge: 26 Gauge
- Outer Diameter (OD): 0.7 mm
- Catheter Length: 3/4 Inch
Does this catheter contain DEHP?
No, this catheter is explicitly designated as DEHP-Free (Non-DEHP), ensuring compliance with material safety standards.
How does the SuperCath 5 ensure OSHA compliance?
The ICU Medical SuperCath 5 is designed to fully comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) bloodborne pathogen standards by prioritizing clinician safety and minimizing contamination risks. This is achieved through integrated features:
- Needlestick Prevention: Features a Push Button Safety mechanism that activates the fully encapsulated needle protection and retracting needle feature, minimizing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
- Blood Containment: It incorporates technology specifically designed to help contain blood, thereby minimizing user exposure to bloodborne pathogens during the IV access procedure.
Does this needle design help prevent needlestick injuries?
Yes, the SuperCath 5 is specifically engineered with a push-button safety activation mechanism. This feature allows for fully encapsulated needle retraction, which is designed to significantly minimize the risk of accidental needlestick injuries for clinicians.
How does the Dual Flash technology assist with insertion?
The Dual Flash technology provides clinicians with reliable, immediate visual confirmation of successful vessel entry. By allowing for clear monitoring during the insertion process, it helps ensure more accurate and confident catheter placement.
Is the ICU Medical SuperCath 5 Peripheral IV Catheter sterile?
Yes, the catheter is sterile and intended for single-use.
Is the catheter radiopaque?
Yes, the catheter is radiopaque, allowing for X-ray detection.
Is the catheter material safe for patient imaging?
Yes, the catheter is constructed from radiopaque polyurethane. This material is designed to be visible under X-ray imaging, allowing for accurate confirmation of the catheter’s position after it has been placed.
